Pupil Premium

Pupil premium is funding to improve education outcomes for disadvantaged children attending schools in England.

Schools receive Pupil Premium funding for:

• children who have been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years

• children who are looked after (they are in Local Authority Care)

• children adopted from care and children who have left care under a Special Guardianship or Residence Order

• children recorded as ‘ever 6’ service child or are in receipt of a child pension from the Ministry of Defence

To check if your child is eligible for the Pupil Premium, please complete the confidential online form.

 https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals 

This is a  Government form and your personal circumstances will not be shared with the school. If you have already been declined, but feel your circumstances have changed, please resubmit another application.

If children are eligible for funding, the school is entitled to additional funding for them whether or not you wish your child to have a school meal at lunchtimes. 

Even if your child is in KS1 and receives a free meal automatically, you must make an application in order for us to receive Pupil Premium for them. Your child is likely to be eligible if you receive one or more of the following benefits:

• Income Support

• Income-based Job Seekers’ Allowance

• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance

• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

• The Guaranteed element of State Pension Credit

• Child Tax Credit, provided you are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit, and have an annual gross income, of no more than £16,190 as assessed by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs

• Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for working tax credit.

• Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

• You can check eligibility and apply online at  https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals 

Any questions please speak to our Admin Officer, Olivia Boynton,  in the school office who will be able to help you.

At St. Saviour's, we believe that all our children, regardless of their individual circumstances, are entitled to the highest quality of education.

• We ensure that the learning needs of all, including those who belong to vulnerable groups, are met through consistently high quality teaching and learning in the classroom.

• We enable access to a wide range of opportunities within and beyond the curriculum.

• We provide additional support for emotional, physical, mental health and well-being development .

• We recognise that not all students in receipt of free school meals are socially disadvantaged and that not all disadvantaged pupils are registered or eligible for free school meals.
