If you or your child are in receipt of certain benefits, you are entitled to a free school meal. For the school to be able to provide this meal, you must apply to see if you are eligible. Your application is confidential and it will not affect any other benefits you are claiming.
To provide a more convenient process, we have moved to an online application system. This system is more convenient, is available any time and you can complete the applications yourself in a few simple steps.
The benefits you will receive are:
- A free school meal for your child, which is good for their health and could help their learning.
- Savings for you, worth over £350 a year.
- Extra money for the school through Pupil Premium, worth at least £900 a year.
By registering your child for Free School Meals your school receives the extra money even if you do not want your child to take up the free meal.
If you want further information or help in completing the online application above, the school office staff will be happy to assist you.
