Pupil Premium/Free School Meals

The Government has committed to give extra money to schools so that they can provide extra support to children who need it most.  This is called pupil premium.

 The pupil premium funding scheme provides a range of benefits for these children in school.  Each school can use their pupil premium in a different way.  Schools may decide to use it for new equipment for the children, school trips or teaching/support staff. 

Anyone who is currently entitled or becomes entitled to Free School Meals up until 31st March 2025 will still remain protected until the end of their phase of education (end of Primary School or end of Secondary).

To ensure Ravenbank receives the maximum amount of pupil premium funding we would like to ensure that families eligible apply before 31st March 2025 - even if you think you are not eligible as your circumstances may change at a later date.

Below is a link to the FSM information on WBC’s website where you can check if you meet the eligibility criteria.
