The process for applying is straightforward and confidential so click here to find out whether your child might be eligible. (Even if you choose not to have a school dinner the pupil premium funding will benefit the pupil and the school).

Alternatively, you can speak to a member of the office staff by calling 01344 422196 (9.30am-4pm), who will be able to assist you through this process. All enquires will be treated in confidence.

Children in Reception and Key Stage 1 automatically receive a free school lunch. However, registering your child for free school meals may entitle the school to the pupil premium funding if your child is eligible for free school meals.

Harmans Water seeks to ensure the effectiveness of its use of the Pupil Premium. We recognise that barriers to achievement take a variety of forms and look for individual ways to support each child to achieve their very best. We do this by offering our children a wide range of opportunities and ensuring that these are accessible for everyone. We work with our families and colleagues to make sure everyone has high aspirations for all pupils. We ensure pupils in receipt of pupil premium funding are well represented and have a voice on our school council and eco committees. In addition, we make use of educational research such as The Sutton Trust, EEF Teaching and Learning Toolkit, to guide us on how best to use the school’s resources to improve the attainment of disadvantaged pupils.
