• families in receipt of Universal Credit;
• adopted children / children with a special guardianship order / children with a child arrangements order;
• children who have been in local authority care.

If you are unsure if your child would be eligible, we can help you to find out.  Please speak to the school office or fill in the form below and return to us.

The grant is to help raise children’s attainment and achievement and to afford them opportunities in line with their peers. 

In addition to the aforementioned funding, the school also receives a ‘Service Children Premium’. This funding is to support children whose parents are members of the Armed Forces, or have left the Armed Forces within the last six years Please inform the school if one parent is either in the Armed Forces or has been in the last six years.
