Although all meals are currently free, it is very important that you let us know if you may be entitled to free school meals. You may be allowed free school meals if you or your partner are in receipt of:-
- Income Support
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance or income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
- Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
- Universal Credit
By making sure we have record of your entitlement we can ensure that you do not lose access to free meals if the borough changes the funding for pupils. If you think your child may be entitled to free school meals, you can make confidential enquiries and pick up an application form at the school office or at the Education Office in Stratford.
