Pupil Premium / Free School Meals

To read the school’s Pupil Premium strategy and statement for the 2022/23 school year, please follow the link below.

Pupil Premium Strategy

The school will receive pupil premium funding when the parents of a child who is eligible for free school meals make a claim with the Local Authority. Children in Reception and KS1 are entitled to universal infant free school meals, however, the school does not receive any pupil premium funding for eligible children unless the parents make a claim. Making a claim is very straightforward and the school will be happy to give advice and support.

Here is a link to the Lancashire County Council website where it explains the eligibility requirements and includes an online form. If the online form is not available then please use the application forms below which will need to be returned to the North Area Education Office, White Cross Centre, Quarry Road, Lancaster, LA1 3SE.

• Online application for Pupil Premium 
• Paper application form for Reception

If a child’s parent is a member of the armed forces, or the child has at some point been in local authority care then pupil premium grants are also available. If you have any questions regarding pupil premium grants, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Worswick, Business Manager.
