2 We are proud to be an inclusive comprehensive school. We understand that young people today have many pressures placed upon them from an early age. Our role is to create a happy, stimulating learning environment that gives every child the confidence and resilience to face these pressures head on. We have high expectations of all of our students. At The Henry Beaufort School there are no limitations to individual success. We acknowledge the fundamental role that we play in the academic and moral education of young people. We celebrate the success of our students at every opportunity and take delight in the buzz and energy around the school site well beyond the official ending of the school day. We do not accept mediocrity or complacency. We understand the challenges that accompany our role as educationalists and we continue to work to find ways to refine and improve our practise. This is underpinned by our aim to be outstanding in everything that we do.

15 What is pupil premium? How do I apply? If parents complete a form and send it in to school, we can check their eligibility on the Hampshire Catering website. It will give an immediate answer and if it s a yes the Free School Meal markers can be applied in SIMS. If it s no then we will write to parents for further proof of their eligibility. What is the criteria? Income Support Income-based Jobseeker s Allowance Income-related Employment Support Allowance Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 Child Tax Credit, provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual income, as assessed by HM Revenue and Customs, that does not exceed 16,190 Guarantee element of State Pension Credit What if my circumstances change? Hampshire Catering Service use the parents National Insurance Number to check eligibility, so when personal circumstances change a warning appears on the HCS printout the school receives daily. Once this happens a new form is sent to the parent asking for proof of their eligibility. Normally a student will remain on FSM for a further 6 weeks pending a new application. How can it help my child? Revision guides Trips Meals Tuition It s a good idea for the application to be renewed each year as this helps to keep school records up to date.
