It is important that this is completed upon entry to ensure that your child receives their entitlement from starting school as no payments will be backdated.
Although all children aged 3-7 are entitled to a free school meal, parents of any pupils in Foundation Stage, Year 1 or Year 2 who are in receipt of any of the benefits listed above, should contact the free school meals benefit office above to claim their Pupil Premium.
