Many of our families could get Free School Meals but do not claim for them; your child may be entitled to Free School Meals if you as the parent are in receipt of any of the following benefits:

• Income Support
• Jobseeker’s Allowance (income based)
• Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• Guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (but NOT Working Tax Credit)

Why claim?

• Save hundreds of pounds per year
• Extra funding for the school in the form of Pupil Premium
• It’s your entitlement
• No downside
• Other pupils and parents will not know you are claiming
