Service Premium
The service premium is extra funding for schools to support children and young people with parents in the armed forces. Schools will receive £340 for each eligible pupil. Pupils attract the premium if they meet the following criteria:
- one of their parents is serving in the regular armed forces
- they have been registered as a ‘service child’ in the school census at any point since 2011
- one of their parents died while serving in the armed forces and the pupil receives a pension under the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) or the War Pensions Scheme (WPS)
We have a limited number of Armed Forces families at Leslie Manser Primary school. Rather than a generic approach, we look at the needs of each child and look to what we can provide to support their learning and social and emotional well-being.
Service Premium Strategy 2024-25
The Service Premium for 2024-25 is £340 per qualifying pupil. We have received a £1700 Service Pupil Premium allocation, based upon 5 pupils.
