Pupil Premium is additional government funding used to improve outcomes for children who may face barriers to learning.

At Mapperley Plains, the funding supports priorities such as high-quality teaching, targeted academic support, attendance, wellbeing and access to wider opportunities. Our current priorities, planned spending and evaluation of impact are set out in the strategy below.

Could your child be eligible?

Your child may qualify for benefits-related free school meals if you receive certain benefits.

Please apply even if your child:

• is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 and already receives a free meal
• prefers to bring a packed lunch
• does not want to have a school dinner

A successful application may provide additional funding to support your child and other eligible children across the school.

Apply for free school meals through Nottinghamshire County Council

Please contact the school office in confidence if you would like help with the application.
