Service Families - Additional Funding 

The Service Pupil Premium (SPP) is provided by the Department for Education to enable schools to offer additional, mainly pastoral, support during challenging times. This could include anything from a Service parent being away, being injured on active service to bereavement.

At Leesland we invest this money into our Pastoral & Learning Support (PALS) team, our Forces Club and our Family Support Workers.  

Schools with Service children are eligible to receive SPP, but only if the child's name appears on the school roll as being a Service child. The annual census takes place on 16th January 2020 and children must be registered with the school before this date.

Service parents are encouraged to contact us before the deadline to make sure we are aware their children are from a Service family so we can add this information to the census.
