A few parents have been asking about applying for free school meals for when their child starts Reception. All children in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 are automatically offered a free healthy school lunch. Children in other school years will also be offered a free school lunch if their parent is receiving any of the welfare benefits.
Registering could raise extra money for Green Top
Registering for free meals could raise an extra £1,320 for Green Top Primary school, to fund valuable support like extra tuition, additional teaching staff or after school activities.
This additional money is available from central government for every child whose parent is receiving one of the welfare benefits listed in the form. It is therefore important to sign up for free school meals, even if your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, so that your child’s school receives as much funding as possible.
