Parents claiming some benefits can claim free school meals for any of their children who are registered at a Staffordshire school and who would normally be at school at lunch time. School meals are a good way to ensure that your child eats well at lunchtime and you can save yourself time and money.
Even if you don’t want your children to have the meals, claiming them helps their school. The more eligible parents who claim meals, the more funding the school receives. To check to see if your child is eligible please click on the link below.
From September 2014, if you have an infant age child (those in reception, year 1 or year 2) they will receive free Government funded ‘Universal Free School Meals’ even if you don’t meet the entitlement criteria and without completing an application for them. For more information contact your school.
