Free School Meals
The funding received from the government with regards to Pupil Premium enables us, as a school, to offer a wide range of activities, services and experiences across the curriculum which will enrich your child’s education.
If your child is entitled to free school meals there is now an online eligibility checker and application form please follow this link (https://www.southampton.gov.uk/schools-learning/in-school/school-meals/free-school-meals.aspx) to complete an application.
If you require assistance with this the school office are available to help you in any way possible. If your child received free school meals at Primary School this should automatically transfer to us in September.
Any concerns after the start of the new school year please contact the school office.
