Supporting our most disadvantaged children and families
Governors are keen to ensure all families are able to claim for Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP); which will enable parents to have free school meals as well as help the school buy resources to support all children’s learning. Parents carers are eligible to apply for the EYPP if they are receiving
one of the following benefits:
- Income support
- Income based Job Seekers Allowance
- Income related Employment and Support Allowance

As a thank you to all parents who are eligible for EYPP, the school will be providing a £10.00 Tesco voucher.
