Pupil Premium - Free School Meals

Recently the DfE sent an email encouraging all schools to focus on FSM registrations and suggesting ways to do so. It is in the interest of all schools to actively increase the registrations of those pupils eligible for FSM to ensure they can maximise the pupil premium funding allocation. If schools have pupils who are eligible but do not register they will be missing out on the additional pupil premium funding.

The crucial date for this academic year is 19th January 2012 as this is the Schools Census date and will directly affect funding for next academic year.

Suggestions for maximising FSM registrations were provided in the DfE email to schools, and further information can be found on the Children's Services website
