Important notice to all parents

If your child is eligible for Free School Meals, the school will also receive additional funding through the Pupil Premium. To help us obtain this funding we would ask that parents of children from every year group complete the eligibility check if their circumstances change. By doing so you will be helping us ensure that children from all backgrounds achieve their potential at Hornbeam.
