Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium
Pupil Premium is additional government funding provided to schools to help improve the educational outcomes of disadvantaged pupils.
Our school receives Pupil Premium funding for every child who is eligible for Free School Meals (FSM) or has been eligible at any point in the last six years (often referred to as Ever 6).
Could your child be eligible?
Your child may qualify for Free School Meals if you receive Universal Credit or certain other qualifying benefits.
Even if your child is entitled to universal free school meals because they are in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, it is still important to apply if you think you may be eligible. Registering for Free School Meals allows the school to receive valuable Pupil Premium funding, which we use to provide additional support, resources and opportunities for children.
A full list of qualifying benefits can be found on the Tameside Council website, or our school office will be happy to help you.
