Free School Meals
Applying for Free School Meals
Dear Parents,
The school uses a new system for checking if a parent can claim free school meals for their children.
The previous system required you to provide documentary evidence each term to prove you can still claim for free school meals. The new system does not require you to do this as claims will be re-checked using the information you have already provided.
Only the parent who is receiving one of the benefits listed below must complete Part A of the form:
- Income Support
- Income Based Jobseeker Allowance
- Employment & Support Allowance
- Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
- Guarantee Element of State Pension Credit
- Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
- Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
Please return your completed form (see the link below) to the school.
Thank you for your co-operation,
