Pupil Premium Funding 

Help Us Access Additional Funding for Your Child’s Education

We want to ensure that all our pupils receive the best possible support in school. Did you know that your child may be eligible for additional funding through the Pupil Premium? This funding is provided to schools by the government to help support eligible children and improve their educational experiences.

Your child may be eligible for Pupil Premium if you receive any of the following:

- Income Support

- Income-Based Jobseeker’s Allowance

- Income-Related Employment and Support Allowance

- Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

- The Guaranteed Element of Pension Credit

- Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income below £16,190)

- Universal Credit with a household income below £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you receive)

Even if your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 and already receives free school meals as part of the government’s Universal Infant Free School Meals scheme, applying for Pupil Premium means the school receives extra funding to provide further support for your child.

Applying is quick and easy, and it can make a real difference to the resources, support, and opportunities we can provide for all our pupils. If you think you might be eligible, please visit http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals or contact the school office for more information.

All applications are confidential, and registering will not affect any other benefits you receive.

School Uniform and Lost Property

The school uniform dress code is as follows: 

• Black or grey trousers, shorts, skirts or pinafores 
• White or red polo shirt (with or without school logo)
• Red cardigan, or sweatshirt (with or without school logo)
• Red and white summer dress (we request no play suits in EYFS, please)
• Plain white, grey or black socks or tights
• Sensible black shoes (sandals may be worn in the summer but these need to be practical for indoor and outdoor learning and play)
• A sun hat for hot days and a waterproof coat for cold/wet days which are suitable/appropriate for school and weather conditions.

Children should not be coming to school in any other items of clothing.

Please make sure that you label every item of your child's school uniform. Every week we have multiple 'lost' items that we cannot return as they are unnamed. If it is named, it will be returned to its owner!

We have a new ottoman in the front entrance for storing unnamed items of lost property. This will be cleared out regularly as we do not have space to store huge amounts of lost property. 

See below for second-hand uniform, if you need anything.
