Universal Free School Meals
All our children (except Nursery) are offered a free lunch funded by the Government. However for funding purposes, if your child is eligible for free school meals, could you please complete the form below and return this to the office.
For all KS2 primary aged children (Years 3 – 6), for the academic year 2023-24 ( from September 2023 – July 2024 ), the Mayor of London is providing a free school meal. The Mayor of London’s letter to all parents can be found below, which gives more information.
However, the Mayor is encouraging all parents to complete a FSM application form if they are in receipt of one of the benefits listed below, as their child may be eligible for extra funding for their school from the Government if they are eligible for benefits related free meals. The school will be able to spend the extra money on enrichment activities, targeted support, etc. If you think you could be eligible for benefits related FSM, and have not already done so, please complete and return the form, which can be found below.
