Have you registered Pupil Premium?

For all pupils, from nursery to sixth form, it is really important to register for Pupil Premium.  By providing your school with brief details of National Insurance Number, Surname and Date of Birth of parent(s)/Carer(s) Derbyshire will be able to ensure they are claiming approximately £1,300 extra per eligible pupil per year from the Government.  Registration is simple and valid throughout the entire school life of your child.  Whether families are currently eligible or not the team will continuously check against the data to identify immediately if they do become eligible at any time.  Due to the current Ever Six funding pupils who have been eligible at any point remain eligible for the following six years for the additional funding.  Please ask about registering at school or contact the small friendly team by telephone on 01629 535743/01629 536400 or by e-mail at checking@derbyshire.gov.uk

Already receive Free School Meals?

There is no need to re-apply even if moving between schools.  You only need to inform the team if your financial or personal circumstances change (in particular your surname as we rely on this to do the check) change.
