Excellence for Forces Children

The Service Premium is extra Government money available to state primary and secondary schools in England, which is intended to help children from Service families cope with issues around moving, operational tours or separation.

AFF is asking parents to nominate their child’s school if the school has used their Service Premium cash in a good way. Parents who nominate can win a Maths Pack online resource subscription; the winning school will win a cookery master-class for the entire school. AFF created the award to share best practice between schools, as well as raising awareness of the Service Premium with parents. Not sure what your school is spending the Service Premium on? Why not pop into school to ask and highlight this award to them.

At my school the cohort of Service kids outperform the non-Service kids - so the premium increases that difference if it really is targeted at the Service kids. Is this a unique case?
