Pupil Premium 

Pupil Premium are those students who have received funding for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years or who are currently eligible for free school meals.

Service Premium 

The Service Premium is designed to support children with parents/carers serving in the regular British armed forces. Students attract the Premium if they meet the following criteria: one of their parents/carers is serving in the regular armed forces (including students with a parent who is on full commitment as part of the full time reserve service); one of their parents/carers served in the regular armed forces since 2016 or one of their parents/carers died while serving in the armed forces and the student is in receipt of a pension under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) or the War Pensions Scheme (WPS) 

Kendrick School will request evidence of receipt of Pupil Premium or Service Premium from your daughter’s current school. Official documentation will be required to support the application for a ‘looked after’ or previously ‘looked after’ child.
