Revenue model

1. School Meals: The school charges £2.35 per day for school meals, provided by external caterer Mellors. All Reception, Year 1, and Year 2 pupils automatically qualify for Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) under the government scheme, meaning the direct revenue from those year groups is subsidized by government funding rather than paid by families. For older year groups, families pay directly for meals or provide packed lunches.
2. Government Per-Pupil Funding (via Local Authority / MAT): As a maintained primary school within the Vantage CE Academies Trust, St Hilda's receives per-pupil funding from the government. In the 2025-26 financial year, the Pupil Premium allocation is £1,515 per primary-aged child registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years, and £2,630 per looked-after child. This funding is allocated to the school to spend on disadvantaged pupil support.
3. PE & Sport Premium (Ring-Fenced Government Grant): The school receives ring-fenced government PE & Sport Premium funding (£17,760 allocated for 2025/2026) restricted to improving the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision. This is not direct revenue from families but a designated government grant.
