Free school meals
Free meals are available to all children from families who are in receipt of Income Support or Job Seekers’ Allowance (income based) payment from the DSS, Guarantee Element of State Pension Credit or Child Tax Credit (only) when the income is less than £16,190 p.a.
Free meals are not available to children from families who are in receipt of Working Tax Credit.
Application forms for free meals are available from the Education Department or the School. Completed forms should be returned to the Education Department together with confirmation from the DSS of entitlement to one of the above, or Child Tax Credit award notice. Applications cannot be processed without confirmation to entitlement. This also applies to pupils attending special schools.
