Hi, I am divorced and confused whether we would qualify for Pupil premium. My ex husband is unemployed and in receipt of universal credit. As we don't live together (he is the other side of the country) would our children be eligible for pupil premium? I have a reasonably well paid job, but am really struggling financially as just surviving on my salary alone. Unfortunately, both kids need new uniform and shoes and everything has to have the school logo on and it's costing me a fortune. It's a state school too, so not posh! Does anyone understand the PP criteria when two parents live separately, but when one can't provide financially and is on benefits? Thank you.
