The Pupil Premium is additional funding paid to schools in respect of their disadvantaged pupils. This includes children who have been registered for free schools meals (FSM) at any point in the last six years or are looked after continuously by the local authority for more than six months. Schools receive this funding to support their eligible pupils and narrow the attainment gap between them and their peers. It is allocated to address the current underlying inequalities between children eligible for free school meals (FSM) and other pupils, by ensuring that funding to tackle disadvantage reaches the children who need it most. Our school also receives funding for service children.
You can check your eligibility for pupil premium via the link below. Please let school know if the check confirms you are eligible as we need to update our records accordingly.
The London Borough of Hillingdon have a scheme available to provide support to vulnerable households and families with children affected by the pandemic during this winter period. Our families in receipt of free school meals are eligible for a Covid-19 winter payment. The scheme details and the form can be accessed via www.hillingdon.gov.uk/winter-grant
If eligible families do not have access to the internet they are able to phone the council 01895 558200 from 8.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday. Families who experience difficulties with the form or have any other queries should email wintergrant@hillingdon.gov.uk
As required, we are publishing online information regarding our Pupil Premium Strategy to support these children.
