Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium Headlines

 

The Government is giving money to schools to help children from lower income families do their very best. This funding is called a ‘Pupil Premium’.

 

For every child registered, Sir John Sherbrooke gets up to £1320.

 

Please register ASAP to make sure your child and others in their class don’t miss out.

 

How does it work?

1. First, check if you qualify, please look at the list below.

 

Do you qualify?

You can register your child for Free School Meals if you get any of these benefits:

  •  Universal Credit
  • Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • The Guarantee element of State Pension Credit
  • Child Tax Credit, provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual income (as assessed by HM Revenue & Customs) that does not exceed £16,190
  • Working Tax Credit 'run-on' - the payment someone may receive for a further four weeks after they stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit

 

2. Registering is really quick and easy – if you think you qualify, contact School Meals Team 01623 433 009 / 0300 500 80 80 who will help you to register.


3. If you want your child to have a free, healthy meal at lunchtime that’s great – they will get the free meal (saving you more that £350 a year), extra benefits and the school gets up to £1300 extra.


4. If you don’t want your child to have the school meals they can continue as normal – as long as you qualify and are registered, the school still gets up to £1300 extra.

 

No one will know you have registered and it will not affect any other benefits you are claiming.

Please talk to us about registering your child today or call 01623 433 009 and ask for Free School Meals Team
