  Dear Parent / Carer

   

  If you are in receipt of an appropriate benefit the school may be able to apply for significant extra funding to help support your child’s learning. We are asking parents who are in receipt of any of the following benefits listed below to please claim for this entitlement.

  • Income Support or Income-Based Job Seekers Allowance (but not Contribution Based Job Seeker’s Allowance).

  • The Guarantee Element of State Pension Credit.

  • Child Tax Credit where the family’s annual income as assessed by HMRC is not in excess of £16,190. Please note that families who are also entitled to Working Tax Credit do not qualify for Free School Meals.

  • Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.

  • Income Related Employment and Support Allowance (but not Contribution-Based Employment and Support Allowance)

   

  Applying for Free School Meals has never been easier. Parents can either call 01926 742060 or visit www.warwickshire.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals and receive an instant decision regarding eligibility. Any information you provide will be treated in absolute confidence.

   

  If you are successful in your application, in addition to the money to help support your child’s learning we will allocate your child a total of £50 over a school year to spend on school trips / school uniform / school shoes etc.

   

  How it works:

   

  1. Parent and school receives notification from the council that child / children are in receipt of free school meals
  2. Your options are to use the £50 per year as soon as you receive notification or spread the amount over the year
  3. The amount can only be spent on school trips, music lessons or uniform

  4) School uniform purchases should be made via the Uniform Shop on the school website: http://juniors.briarhillstmargarets.co.uk/school-uniform-shop/. Please ask for the invoice to be sent directly to school stating ‘Pupil Premium’.

   

  If you have any other queries or need further advice or support completing the forms then please do not hesitate to make an appointment with myself, Mrs Beeston or Mrs Lorberg via the school office where we will be happy to help you complete this.

   

  Yours sincerely

  Mrs S Atkins

  Assistant Head Teacher

• Red Nose Day - 24th March 2017

  Tue 07 Mar 2017

   

  Friday 24th March is Red Nose Day. As a Federation we are having a red non-uniform day for a donation of £1. All money that we raise will go towards helping people living really challenging lives in both the UK and across Africa.

  This Red Nose Day is all about making your laugh matter, so as well as wearing something red to school we would also like the children to bring in a child friendly joke to tell a friend in school. Each class will allocate some time for the children to do this.

  We hope that you will support this worthwhile cause and don’t forget to wear your red nose if you would like to!
