    FSM - HAVE YOU REGISTERED? Act now!

    17 November 2022 (by admin)

    Families need to REGISTER if you are ENTITLED - check out the details below. Every little helps...

    FREE SCHOOL MEALS APPLICATION

    If you receive any of the following benefits, your child is eligible for Free School Meals:

    Income Based Jobseekers Allowance

    Support under Part IV of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

    Child Tax Credit (provided you are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross household income of no more than £16,190)

    The Guaranteed Element of State Pension Credit

    Income Related Employment and Support Allowance

    Working Tax Credit ‘run on’ - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit

    Please submit an application via the school website.  You do not need to re-apply if you are already registered for Free School Meals.

    Even if you do not wish to have a school meal for your child it is important that you complete an application if you are on any of the above listed benefits as schools receive additional funding known as the Pupil Premium. Please take the time to complete an application as this funding really does make a difference to school budgets. Please note that a separate application is required for each child. 

    CONTACT THE MAIN SCHOOL OFFICE IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFORMATION - speak to Mrs. McBride.
