We want to make it as simple as possible for schools and local authorities to determine eligibility for free meals, and we are exploring opportunities to make the registration process more efficient.
Mrs Anne-Marie Trevelyan (Berwick-upon-Tweed) (Con)
In my constituency and across north Northumberland, the pupil premium and the service pupil premium for my military children are valuable additions to the school budget, as targeted interventions for those pupils. However, they are used more effectively in some schools than others. Will the Minister tell the House what plans the Department has to get Ofsted to look more closely at usage and drive best practice across our schools?
Nadhim Zahawi
There are unique challenges for servicemen and women who move around, and the Education Endowment Foundation is looking at that very seriously.
