Support for the new school term
Parents can check their eligibility to receive free school meals and funding for their child’s school through the pupil premium if they receive certain benefits.

Parents who need to buy a new school uniform for the autumn term can contact the school uniform shop that provides free, branded and unbranded school uniforms - parents can sign up to Sutton Scene to be informed when the uniform shop has its summer holiday drop-in event.
