Some helpful facts
The Early Years Pupil Funding is still based on the January 2022 Census
The Pupil Premium Funding for 2022_23 is now based on the data submitted in the October census in 2021. And is paid in 4 instalments.
To maximise pupil premium funding, it is important to record those have become eligible for Free School Meals since the last census.
Pupils may be getting free school meals via Universal School Meals but if they are eligible they still need to be recorded as eligible for Free School Meals.
The Government has temporarily extended free school meal eligibility to include some children of groups who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF).
These groups are:
- children of Zambrano carers
- children of families with no recourse to public funds with a right to remain in the UK on grounds of private and family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights
- children of families receiving support under Section 17 of the Children Act 1989 who are also subject to a no recourse to public funds restriction
The meaning of “no recourse to public funds”.
A person will have no recourse to public funds when they are ‘subject to immigration control’, as defined at section 115 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. A person who is subject to immigration control cannot claim public funds (benefits and housing assistance), unless an exception applies.
