Could you help the school?
You may be eligible for Pupil Premium Free School Meals which could be of benefit to you for a number of other resources i.e. subsidised music lessons etc. We would ask that you take a look at the eligibility criteria below and if you think you are eligible. This funding will support the school to enhance provision for your child too.
How do I know if I qualify for Free School Meals?
The GOV.UK website explains that a child may be eligible for Pupil Premium free school meals (FSM) if their parents are in receipt of any of the following benefits:
- ncome Support
- Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance

- The guarantee element of Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190) - Working Tax Credit is a disqualifying benefit regardless of your household income - this means that you would not be entitled to Free School Meals whilst in receipt of Working Tax Credit
- Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
- Universal Credit (provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods)
