Did you know … just registering your child for Free School Meals means that the school gets extra money?
Register now to make sure we don’t miss out
The Government is giving money to schools to help children from lower income families do their very best. This funding is called a ‘Pupil Premium’.
We use this additional money in a variety of ways to directly benefit your child. It is very important that you get registered; doing so may also get you help with travel costs for your child.
Any additional income we receive will directly benefit your child’s time with us. Although we are unable to provide a hot meal at lunch time we can provide breakfast, from 8.30am-8.45am, and a packed lunch, in addition we do provide other food and drinks during the day free of charge.
No one will know you have registered and it will not affect any other benefits you are claiming.
