How to check if you are entitled to Free School Meals
Your child may be eligible for free school meals.
The school also benefits from additional funding to all students who are registered for free school meals or who have been registered in the past 6 years.
This funding is given to schools to raise attainment of children and enables us to provide many additional support mechanisms such as a learning mentor, intervention and booster classes.
We receive funds for each and every student who has a successful application for a free school meal.
Children are entitled to receive free school meals if they or their parents or guardians receive any of the benefits below.
- Universal Credit, provided they have an annual net earned income not exceeding £7,400(£616.67 per month)
