Free school meals

With the introduction of free school meals for all children in Foundation 2 and Key Stage 1 from next September, it is really important that everyone who is eligible applies for free school meals as this will bring additional money into school through the Pupil Premium.

Applying for free school meals does not mean your child has to have them.

What it does mean is:

• The school receives extra money each year

• Your child is entitled to 50% subsidies for residential visits

• Your child will receive discounts on visits and swimming

• The additional money allows us to provide a range of interventions that may benefit your child

• It also expands the opportunities in school such as learning a musical instrument for a year.

You may qualify for free school meals if you are in receipt of universal credit, if your household income is lower than £7400 this will be targeted FSM an income over that but still in receipt of universal credit will be expanded FSM.

You can apply by telephone on 0116 454 1009 or online.
