FREE SCHOOL MEALS How do I claim ? Am I eligible ? Where can I get information ?

From 6 April 2010, children whose parents are in receipt of one of the following will be entitled to receive free school meals…... Current free school meals eligibility criteria

Income Support Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance An income-related employment and support allowance Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 Child Tax Credit (provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit) and have an annual income that does not exceed £16,190 as assessed by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs The Guarantee element of State Pension Credit

What might be stopping you from applying….??

Fears by parents that their children will be stigmatised or will be embarrassed to be seen receiving free meals. A Cashless Catering system operates at Broughton Hall where pupils use their fingers to access and identify themselves. This means that pupils taking free meals can retain their anonymity at the till.

Pupils and parents believe that the quality and choice of food on offer and the conditions in which the school lunch is eaten, discourages eligible pupils from taking their free meals

Parents don’t know how to apply

How is the allowance paid ? If your claim is successful the school will be notified that your child/children can have school meals free of charge. The School will ensure that this information is treated with the strictest confidence and handled sensitively.

For more information... Further information is available from any One Stop Shop or by calling One Stop Shop Directgov at earninganddevelopment/SchoolLife earninganddevelopment/SchoolLife Parentcentre at
