You may be eligible for Free School Meals if you are in receipt of the following benefits.

• Income Support

• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance

• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance

• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

• The guaranteed element of Pension Credit

You will be given a decision immediately. If your entitlement is confirmed, the Academy will be notified and we can begin to process your order for Supermarket vouchers.

The current entitlement is £15 per child per week, which can be used in major supermarkets to purchase healthy food items for your child’s lunch. 

To parents currently in receipt of these vouchers, the Academy are pleased to announce that Aldi are now on board with the scheme and vouchers can now be accepted in their stores.
