What is Pupil Premium and how is it used?
- This is additional funding available to school. It is available for any child who would qualify for free school meals due to their family income, both UIFSM (universal related free school meals) and IRFSM (income related free school meals).
- The money can be used by school to help to provide more support to the children, to help develop children’s academic progress, their self esteem or their social and emotional skills. Please see how school uses the funding by clicking on the attached documents on this page.
- If you have recently become unemployed or have reduced your working hours and have been granted the four week working tax credits run on, then you may be entitled to free school meals. Please call our school office on 01926 651355 for confidential support and advice.
The Government believes it is unacceptable for a child’s success to be determined by their social circumstances. Pupil Premium payments of £1480 are made to school for children who are in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM) and are intended as a means to raise levels of achievement for all disadvantaged pupils and to close the gap between disadvantaged children and their peers. Pupil Premium payments of £2570 are also given to schools to support those children who are or have been ‘looked after’ by the Local Authority or those pupils who have parents serving in the armed forces. This academic year Moreton Morrell C of E Primary School is expected to receive approximately £22,000 in Pupil Premium payments.
If you are claim the following benefits, your child may be eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant:-
- Income Support
- income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance

- Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
