Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any of the following:

Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

Working Tax Credit run-on (paid for the 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit)
The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
Universal Credit
If your child is eligible for free school meals, they’ll remain eligible until they finish the phase of schooling (primary or secondary) they are in on 31st of March 2024.
If your application is successful our academy will also receive extra funding from the government in the form of Pupil Premium, which can be used to support teaching and learning.
