The Pupil Premium Grant (PPG) is additional funding given to schools to support pupils who may face disadvantage and help close the achievement gap.

Pupil Premium registration form
Please apply for free school meals if your income is low, even if your child is entitled to a free infant meal or they have a packed lunch. Children who are entitled to free school meals at any time during the last 5 years receive extra Pupil Premium funding for the school. This helps us to provide your child with additional opportunities and support. Full details and the on-line application can be found on the Wiltshire Council website www.wiltshire.gov.uk or the school office will be happy to help.
All applications are treated in the strictest confidence and other children and parents do not know who is entitled to free meals.
