Pupil Premium

Pupil Premium

The Pupil Premium is allocated to children and families who are currently known to be eligible for Free School Meals (FSM), children who have been looked after continuously for more than six months and children whose parents are currently serving in the armed forces. 

The Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) is additional funding for our early years Nursery setting to enhance the education we provide for disadvantaged 3 and 4 year olds. 

How to ensure you get your entitlement to free school meals and access to Pupil Premium Funding for your child

We now have access to a system for checking your availability for claiming free school meals. If you are entitled to the below please let the school office know and we can provide you with more information regarding Free School Meals entitlements. 

Who is entitled?

You are entitled if you receive any of the following:

  • Income Support (IS)
  • Income Based Jobseekers Allowance (IBJSA)
  • Employment Support Allowance – income related (ESA(IR))
  • Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • Child Tax Credit, provided you are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual income, as assessed by the Inland Revenue that does not exceed £16,190
  • Guarantee element of the State Pension Credit
  • Working Tax Credit during the 4-week period immediately after your employment finishes or after you start to work less than 16 hours per week. You will have a letter from HMRC stating that you are entitled to a 4-week ‘run on’ of Working Tax Credit’
  • Universal Credit, if you apply on or after the 1st April 2018 and your household income is less than £7,400 a year. 

At Barons Court we value the abilities and achievements of all of our pupils and are committed to providing each pupil with the best possible environment for learning. We recognise that each child is unique and will have different needs, which may vary throughout their time at our school. As a school all of our Pupil Premium spending decisions are informed by research evidence so that we can ensure that additional support for pupils enables them to reach their full potential as happy, confident, life-long learners. As a school we are held accountable for how we have used the additional funding to support our pupils.
