13/09/2022 - FREE SCHOOL MEALS
ALL PUPILS in the foundation phase in Wales are eligible to a free meal at lunchtime, it is not means tested. However, to access this free meal an application form needs to be completed. This can be done by following the link at the bottom of this message.
At present not all parents have signed up for this entitlement. We would strongly urge ALL parents/carers of children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 to sign up to this, even if you do not think you will be requiring the lunch for your child. Without the application form completed, your child will not be able to access future events such as Christmas dinner.
Your child does not have to have a school dinner, and can still bring sandwiches if they wish, but please complete the application online just in case a lunch is required in the future. The deadline for applications is 15th September 2022. If you require help completing or accessing the application form please ask for assistance at the school office where we will gladly help you.
Many thanks once again for your cooperation,
Mrs Coombs
