Free School Meal Funding over half term

We have received information from the City Council today that children from Nursery class to Year 11 who are eligible for a benefits related free school meal over the half term break next week will be able to claim an allowance for free school meals.

Eligible families will receive a cash payment of £15 per child for the half term week and will need to claim through the Welfare provision scheme on the Council's website - the link is copied below. The scheme will continue to be open for 2 weeks after half term up until 13th November so that families can apply retrospectively if they are unable to claim next week.
