Are you eligible for Free School Meals and Pupil Premium?

Did you know that our school receives funding to help children who are eligible for free school meals?

This means we can help support families to enrich their children’s’ learning experiences.
Families who receive the following are eligible for free school meals:

• Income support
• Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA)
• Income-related employment and support allowance (ESA)
• Guarantee element of state pension credit
• Universal Credit (with an annual income of less than £7,400)
• Both income-based and contribution-based JSA/ESA if you receive the same amount for both. You should also qualify if you receive both but the income-based amount is greater, but not if the contribution-based amount is greater.
• Families who are awarded Child Tax Credit and have an annual income, as assessed by HMRC, not in excess of £16,190 are also eligible to claim free school meals providing there is no entitlement to Working Tax Credit (unless in respect of a 4-week ‘run-on’).

Go to: www.warwickshire.gov.uk/education-learning/apply-free-school-meals and apply online or call 01926 359189 to apply.
 

How much homework do you get? 
Homework will come in the form of regular 'short' (20 minute) homework tasks for example, learning vocabulary in French, Maths questions, etc. and some longer 'Independent Learning Tasks' (ILTs). ILTs will allow you to develop your independence and go into more detail in specific areas of the curriculum. These will last over a period of 4 weeks and will culminate in a final project e.g. an assessment of castles in history or the solar system in Science.
