Free School Meals

 

Universal Free School Meals

Pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 now qualify automatically for free school meals.   However, it is important that low income parents still complete the application for Early Years Pupil Premium.   Pupil Premium is used to fund educational interventions for the students of low income families.   Please send completed forms (click here for form) to the school office.  Please see our policies page to view our Pupil Premium and Free School Meals policy.

 

Free School Meals 

Save £500 a Year with Free School Meals: All children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 get a free hot lunch every day—no need to register.

If your child is in Year 3 or above, you could still be entitled to free school meals if you receive certain benefits. It’s worth checking—families can save over £500 a year per child, and it helps the school too.

Check your eligibility and apply at: www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals

 

Tell your local authority if you also get any of the qualifying benefits. Your child’s school can get extra funding if you do.
