Pupil Premium
The pupil premium is a sum of money received by the academy, from central government funds, to provide additional resources for each pupil who is currently eligible for free school meals (FSM) or has been eligible in the past 6 years, has been designated as a looked after child for more than 6 months, or is a child whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces.
If your child is currently on Free School Meals or has been at any point in the past 6 years, the academy will receive the Pupil Premium payment on their behalf. If they are currently eligible for Free School Meals then they will also get school meals paid for. For your child to be eligible you must receive one of the following benefits:
- Universal Credit
- Income Support
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Support under Part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
- Working Tax Credit run-on (paid for the four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit)
- Child Tax Credit (with no Working Tax Credit)
If you believe that your child might be eligible for Free School Meals then please apply at this link: Free school meals – Norfolk County Council
