The Pupil Premium is additional DfE funding for schools in England for pupils who are either in receipt of Free School Meals, are, or have been, a Looked After Child or are, or have been, Service Children (those with parents that work in the armed services). Nationally these children can be vulnerable to lower attainment and the aim of the funding is to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils of all abilities and to close the gaps between them and their peers. It is for schools to decide how Pupil Premium funding is spent according to the needs of their pupils.
We strive to ensure:
- We provide quality first teaching and learning opportunities which meet the needs of all our pupils.
- We recognise that not all pupils who are registered for Free School Meals or who are Looked After children are disadvantaged.
Chapel Haddlesey Pupil Premium Strategy 2024-2026 Final version
Parents and Carers who think their child might qualify for Pupil Premium funding are asked to contact the headteacher for more information.
We would wish to encourage all families who feel they may be eligible for Free School Meals, to claim them, as not only does it support you in the health and care of your child, but it also supports their learning in school.

All matters regarding Free School Meals and the use of Pupil Premium funds are treated with discretion and in confidence.
