Parent Information
This is based on research showing that children from low income families perform less well at school than their peers. Often, children who are entitled to pupil premium face challenges such as poor language and communication skills, lack of confidence and issues with attendance and punctuality. The pupil premium is intended to directly benefit the children who are eligible, helping to narrow the gap between them and their classmates.
Children qualify for free school meals – and accordingly pupil premium – if their parents receive any of the following benefits:
These benefits have now been rolled into a single benefit, called Universal Credit.
Universal Credit is being rolled out, with an expected completion date of March 2022. All pupils who were eligible for free school meals up to April 2018 will continue to receive free school meals during this period.
Once Universal Credit is fully rolled out, any existing claimants who no longer meet the eligibility criteria will still qualify for free school meals until the end of their current stage of education (i.e. primary or secondary).
Children who are or have been in care, and children who have a parent who is or was in the armed forces, are also entitled to pupil premium.
Schools are responsible for recording the children who are eligible for pupil premium in their annual school census – you don’t have to do anything yourself, other than making sure you return any paperwork that relates to the benefits you receive or your child’s entitlement to free school meals.
If your child qualifies for free school meals, it’s important that you tell Scarborough UTC as this enables us to claim pupil premium.
You can see how this year’s pupil premium is allocated in the attached document.

In the academic year 2021 -22 the college used 16- 19 catch up funding to support students who did not achieve a GCSE grade 4 or above in their Maths. These students had missed significant amounts of curriculum time due to the first lockdown during their GSCE studies due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Students received individual weekly coaching sessions from a maths tutor who worked through misconceptions about mathematical problems, key numerical problem-solving techniques and exam paper practice. These students had also received the tuition online with the same tutor when the college had to close due to the Coronavirus pandemic and national lockdown restrictions. The sessions were 1:1 and for 1 hour each week during term time.
The impact of the grant on the educational attainment of pupils was assessed by student voice and student attainment tracking throughout the year. Please see Testimonials.
Sixth form students are able to apply for financial support if they meet criteria in line with government guidance in the form of the bursary funding. Please find information below, in the first instance please speak to Mr Connell, Vice Principal for further support or guidance.

Last week our CCF Cadets met Mr Wood, and were given a preview of a national project being delivered by @Nat_Coastwatch in relation to Water Safety. This will be ultimately delivered to all students across the country to promote water safety and prevent fatalities. #watersafety https://t.co/SOtsiYdQsE
