I was entitled to pp in 2016 after divorce and child was in Y2. For 9 months I was not aware I could have applied for it. Now child has got a pass mark for a local grammar but not the priority score. It was the school's fault not to have registered me and my children as pupil premium? I still have all the income support paperwork regarding that period. Wonder if it is worth fighting for a pp appeal or if anyone can shed a light or have been through something similar. I did not tick the PP in the grammar application. Any positive + informative comments welcome.
Are you saying that when you became eligible for the primary school to apply for Pupil Premium, you gave the school all the information they required, but the school did nothing about it? Or do you think that the primary school should have applied with no input from yourself?
What is the cut-off for supplying evidence to the secondary school?
What does it say in the admissions policy about those who in error omitted to tell the Foundation that their DC was eligible at time of registration, or whose DC have become eligible since registration? (The most recent statement, posted on the forum, says that the Foundation expects the number of 'PP' DC to go down, due to parents having ticked the box accidentally etc).
Your claim for your DC to be 'PP' normally has to be confirmed by the current primary school.
