Free Schools Meals and Pupil Premium Information

Currently, pupils in Years 1 and 2 as well as Reception children all receive free school meals, these are paid by government funding. This provision is called Universal Free School Meals or UFSM.

In addition to this funding, parents in low income families or those that are unemployed can also apply for Pupil Premium funding so that their children can receive free school meals in subsequent school years (Year 3 and onwards).

Please read on to find out how to check if you are eligible and if so,  how to apply for this financial support.

Introduction

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’.

If you qualify, your child/children can receive free school meals and reduced costs towards some after school activities  or curriculum enrichment opportunities such as learning to play the guitar.  

For every child registered, Nursery Hill Primary School gets £1,385 this year. This additional funding allows us to provide an even better education for your child through the purchase of additional resources or staff to support learning.
