COVID-19 – Free School Meals
Providing free school meals and ensuring the welfare and support of our children and young people is a key priority for our council.
Due to the ever-changing circumstances of COVID19 we will make sure that a food pack is available to all children and young people who meet the criteria for free school meals. This does not include all children in P1-P3 who would normally receive a free meal, only those who meet the entitlement criteria:
- Income Support
- Job seeker’s Allowance (Income based)
- Employment and Support Allowance (Income based)
- Child Tax Credit on its own, with an annual taxable income of less than £16,105 (subject to change)
- Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit with an annual taxable income of less than £6,900 (subject to change)
- Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- Universal Credit with a monthly earned income of not more than £610
Families must confirm that they want to be included in this scheme by completing the online form or or speaking to a member of the team on 01387 271112.
I am sorry that the information being sent out keeps changing but unfortunately this is necessary due to the nature of the current situation.
As always, please contact me if you require any other information. My mobile number is: 07741 686730.
Best wishes,
Mary E Lidstone-Scott
