Please can we remind all parents that even if their child now receives a Universal Primary Free School Meal (Eligible Nursery pupils through to Year 6) that they could be eligible to access wider support, such as the School Essentials Grant for items such as uniform, kit and stationery (up to £200) plus extra funding for your school.

All schools across Wales will then be entitled to additional funding to provide education and support these children. If eligible families don’t apply for a free school meal through the council it will affect the amount of funding from Welsh Government that the schools receive, meaning the school has less money than it is entitled to in order to provide education and support to your children.

If you think your child may be entitled to a Free School Meal, even if your child is in receipt of a meal under this new scheme, please complete the online application form on the Council’s website Free School Meals or ask the main school office for a paper copy, which we can then scan for you.
