Does my child qualify for pupil premium?

If you receive any of the following support payments your child may be entitled to free school meals:

• Income Support
• Income based Jobseekers Allowance
• Income related Employment and Support Allowance
• The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (providing you are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,900)
• Working Tax Credit run-on - paid 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• Universal credit

Applying online is a faster way of checking if you are eligible and means you do not have to keep reapplying every year.
