The relevant departments in Scotland and Wales have chosen not to implement the Service Pupil Premium fund.
The fact the funding cannot be drawn down does not mean service children in your schools do not face the same challenges as service children in schools in England, it does mean you don’t have a specific pot of money to support those challenges.
The information sheets about the challenges military children face and how these can be supported will still be very relevant but potentially more imagination is needed to enable this support on a small budget. Little Troopers will support you where we can.
