Pupil Premium funding is given to schools based on the numbers of pupils in the school who are eligible for Free School Meals (FSM). From 2012-13, it has been expanded to include all children who have been eligible for FSM within the last 6 years. When applying to a Merton school you will be encouraged to complete an application for free school meals. All children eligible for free school meals are also eligible for a government grant of around £1300 per child. This money is used by Poplar for a wide range of purposes as indicated below.
The table below gives an overview of how the Pupil Premium grant is spent at Poplar. For more detailed information, including an outline of the impact on pupils, see our

If your child does not have Free School Meals, but may be eligible because of your family's income level, please contact the office (in confidence) to register them or use the eligibility checker link above. Even if you do not wish them to have the meals, this would mean the school could still claim Pupil Premium funding that may be used to help your child.
