Check pupil premium for reception

We can check your reception intake for pupils who qualify for free school meals (FSM) to ensure you claim their pupil premium.

On the form to accept their child’s school place, parents may provide their:

  • own date of birth
  • National Insurance number

We need these details and their full name to check if a child qualifies.

Enter this data before you run the FSM report in your school management system. We do not process paper applications for this age group.

We will let you know the results. You can claim pupil premium for children who qualify.
