Free School Meals

An easier, private way to apply that saves money for you and increases funds for the school.

Applying for a free school meal is now easier and more confidential. The application process is moving to our housing benefit service so you no longer have to contact the school directly. They take the application so that you don't have to approach the school directly and means that you keep your details private.

Anyone eligible for a free school meal and who registers their eligibility by simply completing this application form will save themselves hundreds of pounds per year. They will also help raise money for the school following a government commitment to pay schools for each pupil registered. Your child does not need to take the meal but the school still gets the extra funding if you register!
