Even if your child prefers a home packed lunch or has a free lunch provided by school (Reception, Year 1 and 2 pupils receive meals through different funding) it is important that you register for Free School Meals if you are in receipt of the agreed benefits. Please contact the school if you need any more information about this. School is allocated additional funding that can be spent on extra staff to support the children as well as providing financial support to families for school trips and other activities. Registering for FSM will also ensure that your family receive support during school holidays– families in receipt of FSM have access to the HAF (Holiday and Food) programme. In addition, later this half term, families in receipt of FSMs will receive a supermarket voucher for £16.50 per child, funded by the Household Support Fund. Please take the time to apply. Should you apply and qualify, your child will still be able to have a home packed lunch if they wish to do so and do not have to have free school meals in school if that is your preference.
