Pupil Premium Funding Entitlement
Did you know the estimated percentage of families in Hertfordshire which could be entitled to receive Free School Meals but have not yet claimed is around 14%? This means that your child could be entitled to a free, tasty, nutritious meal every school day in our superb dining hall.
An extra concern is that St Mary's may not be receiving the Pupil Premium which is paid for each child receiving FSM. There is a link to the online application form below which really makes applying as easy as possible.
If you are a parent or carer and you get one of the benefits listed, your child may be entitled to receive free school meals and pupil premium funding:
Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get 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 of no more than £16,190)
- Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
- Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals.
If your child is eligible for free school meals, they’ll remain eligible until they finish the phase of schooling (primary or secondary) they’re in on 31 March 2022.

It is important for your child and for St Mary's to receive all that you are entitled to.
