The Government considers the Pupil Premium to be a key element of their education policy.

The Pupil Premium provides additional funding to schools to target specific groups of children who are vulnerable to underachievement.

These include pupils from low income families, children in care and the children of armed service personnel.

You can register your entitlement for Pupil Premium/Free School Meals if:

• You have children who attend a school in Wiltshire, and
