Universal Free School Meals From September 2014 all pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 in state-funded schools in England are entitled to a free school meal. This is known as a Universal free school meal. However, this is not the same as 'Free School Meals status' or as we now call it, Pupil Premium.
Pupil Premium Funding (Used to be known as Free School Meals) If your family qualifies for Pupil Premium, the school will be allocated £1900 every year for the next six years (that's £11,400!)to spend on resources to directly benefit your child. Your child will also be eligible for a reduction when paying for school trips and activities.
In England, children are entitled to receive free school meals if their parents or carers are in receipt of any of the following benefits: - income support - income-related Employment and Support Allowance - support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 - the guaranteed element of State Pension Credit - Child Tax Credit (provided they are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16 190, as assessed by HMRC) - Working Tax credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax credit.
If you think you might qualify, simply fill in the form (see button at the top of the page) and either e-mail it to us or hand it in to the school office. All applications are treated in the strictest of confidence. Your child will never be told that they are a 'Free School Meal' and life will continue as normal!
