What if I believe my child is entitled to Free School Meals and, therefore, Pupil Premium?

Your child may be eligible for free school meals if you are receiving any of the following:

• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
• Child Tax Credit (not Working Tax Credit), with an annual income below £16,190
• Pension Guarantee Credit
• Employment and Support Allowance, income related
• Support under part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act, 1999
• Working Tax Credit run-on, paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• Universal Credit, with a household income of £7,400 or less (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
