Free School Meals

Pupil Premium

We are aware that the pandemic has changed many lives and we want all children to achieve their full potential and access everything that our school has to offer. This can be supported by additional funding for children who are eligible for a Pupil Premium grant.

Could your child be eligible for a Pupil Premium grant? 

Children qualify for free school meals – and accordingly pupil premium – if you receive any of the following benefits: 

  •                        Universal credit (provided you have a net income of £7400 or less) 
  •                        Income support 
  •                        Income-based jobseekers’ allowance 
  •                        Income-related employment and support allowance 
  •                        Support under Part IV of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 
  •                        The guaranteed element of state pension credit 
  •                        Child tax credit, provided that you are not also entitled to working tax credit and have                           an annual gross income of £16,190 or less 

If your child qualifies for free school meals, it’s important that you tell us. Even if they're in Early Years or KS1 and receive universal school meals for infant pupils or are in KS2 and take a packed lunch – as this enables us to claim pupil premium. This funding can then be used to support your child in school.

 Children also qualify if: 

  •                        Children are in care 
  •                        Children previously in care who have been adopted, or who have a special                                           guardianship order,  a child arrangements order or a residence order.
  •                        Children recorded as being from service families 

If you think your child could be eligible, please click on the link below to be taken to the online application form through Derbyshire County Council, and in return for successful applications, you will receive a voucher that will pay for two school jumpers and a book bag.

Derbyshire County Council Household Support Fund - JANUARY 2025
 
As part of the Department for Work and Pensions’ Household Support Fund Scheme, Derbyshire County Council is distributing funding to household’s struggling to pay for food, energy and essential living costs.
As part of the scheme, the Council will again be distributing grocery vouchers to low-income families. Information about who is eligible for the vouchers is available on the website and we hope to start distribution in early January 2025. We will update the website when all vouchers have been distributed and provide details of what parents and carers should do if they haven’t received their voucher.
