Free School Meal Information The School has received some queries from parents as to why they have only been able to collect a food voucher for one child, but not a sibling.

This scheme is not covered under this current food voucher scheme. The School has sent several reminders to parents to apply for Free School Meals outside of the universal scheme, which parents may have missed. If you wish to receive the current food vouchers for any additional children, it is very important that you complete the attached online application. Click here for online application.
