Pupil Premium
The Pupil Premium is part of the school’s budget that is specifically to provide funding for two government policies:
- raising the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities to reach their potential; and
- supporting children and young people with parents in the regular armed forces.
The Pupil Premium is allocated to schools based on the number of eligible pupils. This includes children who have been eligible for Free School Meals at any time in the last six years, looked-after children and those who have been adopted. There is also an allocation for the children of families in the armed services.
Your child will be eligible for Pupil Premium if you receive any of the following:
- Income Support
- Income-based Job Seeker's Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Guarantee element of State Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit but no element of Working Tax Credit and have an annual income (as assessed by HM Revenues & Customs) that does not exceed £16,190
- If you are supported under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- Working Tax Credit during the four-week period immediately after your employment finishes or after you start to work fewer hours per week
- Universal Credit (provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400 (£616.67 per month), as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods).
To check if your child is eligible, apply online at Suffolk County Council for an immediate response or call 0345 606 6067 for advice.
