The government has made funds available through its Household Support Fund Grant to support families, by offering additional help towards household costs associated with the increased cost of living.
If you are an eligible family, you will receive £70 (in supermarket vouchers) for each child who is eligible on our system for free school meals to help with living costs throughout the summer.
We will forward the vouchers as we did in November 2023 to your chosen email/collection details. If your email address has changed since this time or you are a new family please send a text or WhatsApp message to 07766 510933 confirming your email address and your childs name . PLEASE DO NOT CALL.
A text message has been sent to all families who we have on our system as NOT eligible. If your circumstances have changed please call into the school office to complete an application by 6th June. Please note this is the cut off date for new applications for this round of vouchers.
