At the King Edward VI Foundation, we welcome children from all backgrounds into our schools.
As part of our efforts to further improve the accessibility of our schools, children who are eligible for the Pupil Premium can receive early access to our online support platform to help them to become familiar with the kinds of questions that will be in the entrance test. We partner with Atom Home to deliver this support.
If your child is in Year 4 or 5 and has been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years, please fill in the form by clicking the link below. You will be given free access to Atom Home for your child when their Pupil Premium status has been verified by their primary school.
Follow this link to access the form.
Atom is a fun, free platform which adapts to your child’s level. As a parent, you will be able to see how your child is progressing and keep up to date with new homework your child has been assigned.
