Do you think your child might be eligible for Free School Meals? Not only will your child receive a hot dinner each day, they will receive free milk and the School also gets some additional money called 'pupil premium' that we use to support your child in the classroom to help them with their learning.

Please have a look at the information below to see if you are eligible. Even if you do not want the free dinner your child will benefit from the pupil premium money, which this year is worth over £1000 for each eligible child.
