SCHOOL CENSUS

Next Thursday -17th January is school census day. Information gathered on this day which the amount of funding the school receives. 

For every pupil who is eligible for Free School Meals, our school receives funding of £1,300 per year for six years. Even KS1 children who receive Universal Free School Meals may still be eligible for this funding. If your child is eligible for this funding you would also receive:

• £40 voucher per child, per year to assist with the cost of school uniform redeemable at Premier Schoolwear. 
• Assistance with contributions towards school trips and residential visits. 
• Free after school clubs 

If you are receipt of one of the following you are eligible. Please visit the school office and see Mrs Parker.

• Income Support 
• Income based Job-seeker's Allowance 
• Income related employment and support allowance 
• Support under part VI of the Immigration & Asylum Act 1999 
• Child Tax Credit ( provided you are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and whose annual income (as assessed by the Revenue and Customs) does not exceed £16,190. 

Havering Catering Services are putting on a special menu on 17th January (Census Day) as our funding is also determined by the uptake of school meals on that day- It would really help if all pupils opted for a school dinner that day. It's a good opportunity to get your child to try a school dinner and we are happy for you to send in a packed lunch as well if you're unsure if they'll eat it or not.
