Help us to help your child do better
I am writing to you as a parent or guardian of a child who will now be in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2.
As I am sure you will know all pupils in these year groups are now able to receive a school meal at no extra cost. Choosing a school lunch for your child or children will save you up to £400 a year regardless of your family income.
While all children in these year groups will be receiving a free school meal, if you are on a low income our school can receive additional funding in the form of a Pupil Premium Grant to help us help your child to do better here at school. Details of how the school uses this grant can be found on our school website.
In order for the school to receive this funding we require you to complete the attached form. You can return it to the school and we will send it through to the benefits team or you can apply on-line by visiting www.eastriding.gov.uk/ppg.
If you prefer, you can telephone the council’s benefits team on (01482) 394799 and give them your name and date of birth, your National Insurance Number and your child’s name, date of birth and the school they are attending or are going to attend.
Once you have provided this information you will receive a letter telling you whether or not your child is eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant. We will receive a copy of the letter so that if your child is eligible we can claim the grant on their behalf to further support their education.
Any families returning completed forms to the school office will receive a voucher for a free water bottle and book bag to be redeemed after the Half Term holidays!
I encourage you to consider whether or not your child may be eligible for the Pupil Premium Grant as I am sure you understand that this additional funding can make a real difference to your child’s education and progress in our school.
Yours sincerely
Mr L Myers
Head Teacher
