Pupil Premium

​About Pupil P​remium Funding

(Yearly plans available at the bottom of this page)

The Pupil Premium was introduced in April 2011 and paid to local authorities by a grant based on the January census figures for pupils registered as eligible for FSM in reception to Year 11. It is allocated to children from low-income families who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals in both mainstream and non-mainstream settings and children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months.

Please register your child, if you are eligible, using the easy online facility which has been launched by Hampshire County Council Catering Services (HC3S). You can now check your eligibility for free school meals. This self service option is available at http://www3.hants.gov.uk/caterers/hc3s-freeschoolmeals. For this online service, all you need to do is enter your name, national insurance number or asylum number, address and your child’s details.  Then press ‘submit’ and find out if you are eligible. If the result comes back ‘found’, this means your child is eligible for free school meals and the system automatically tells the school. You no longer have to find the paperwork and go into school to get it checked!

As from April 2012 the Government widened the coverage of the Premium to include those eligible for FSM at any point in the last six years (known as the Ever 6 FSM measure).

Schools decide how the Pupil Premium is spent, since it is recognised that they are best placed to assess what additional provision should be made for the individual pupils within their responsibility. The Service Children Premium is to support their emotional and social well-being. The Ministry of Defence has recently announced that the Service Children premium will be extended to include children whose parent has left the service up to three years ago.  This is known as Ever 3.

Please inform the school if one parent is in the services or has been in the last three years.As from September 2012, schools have been required to publish online information about how they have used the Premium and the impact it has had. This is to ensure that parents and others are fully aware of the attainment of pupils covered by the Premium.  This information is shown here, on the school website.  Please click on the links below to access the relevant documents.
