Hardship Fund

The school has a small hardship fund, which is available to provide financial assistance for students to access school trips. The eligibility for the assistance is income-based and can provide up to 50 per cent towards the total cost of the trip.

To apply you need to request support, by email, to the Finance Manager. You will be requested to provide evidence to demonstrate the income level in the year. This can be in the form of pay slips, P60, benefit statements, universal credit awards etc. 

Unfortunately, we cannot use the pupil premium funding to support a student-specific trip. The Pupil Premium Grant is given to schools with the clear mandate to close the attainment gap that exists between disadvantaged students and their peers. Pupil Premium funding is only attached to individual students when they are looked after or adopted from care: in these cases, all of the Pupil Premium allocation is spent directly on individual students.
