Infant School Age Children

Children who attend Reception to Year 2 are entitled to a meal free of charge under a government scheme called Universal Infant Free School Meals, but we still need you to register in order to receive the extra funding that we require for equipment, trips and resources.

Pupil Premium - Extra Funding

We receive extra funding for every child recorded as being eligible for a free school meal. We receive £1,345 per year for Reception to Year 6 pupils and £955 per year for Year 7 to 11 pupils. Your child does not need to take the meal if you would prefer them not to, but by being registered the school will receive the extra funding.

If your child is eligible to receive a free school meal at any time before March 2022, they will retain their eligibility until this date. If your child is still in education in March 2022, they will retain their eligibility until the end of their current phase of education, primary or secondary.
