Dear Families,
As you may be aware some families are entitled to financial support in the form of free School Meal/Breakfast Club and Clothing grants. Free school meal support includes free access to breakfast club which runs in school, each day from 8-8.45am. The School Clothing Grant award of £120 for a Primary aged child or £150 for a Secondary aged child is available on an annual basis to assist with the cost of purchasing essential school clothing for families who are on a qualifying benefit.
We are aware that many of our families who are entitled to this support have not signed up yet. For many families this may be because their child in in Primary 1-5 and free school meals are provided as standard for all pupils at these stages. However, we would like to remind families that applying for the free Meal/Breakfast Club grant will also allow pupils to access Breakfast club free of charge where pupils are provided with a full breakfast and have the opportunity to socialise and play with friends.
We would like to encourage all of our families who believe they may be entitled to the free School Meal/Breakfast Club and Clothing grant to apply. Please click on the link below for further information –

Yours
Miss L Davidson
Acting Head Teacher
