What is Pupil Premium?
Pupil Premium funding is additional funding allocated to all schools to support disadvantaged pupils. Lingey House uses Pupil Premium funding for: every pupil who has received free school meals over the past 6 years, pupils who are cared for or adopted from care and for children whose parents are in the armed forces.
The funding is provided in order to support these pupils in reaching their potential. It is up to individual schools how best to allocate this funding so that it can be geared towards meeting the needs of individual children.

Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 are automatically entitled to a free school lunch; however registering your child for free school meals will entitle them to extra support within school.
