Can my child get free school meals?

Yes if you receive one of the

following:

• Income support
• Income-based Job Seekers’ Allowance (IBJSA)
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
• Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• Child Tax Credit and those whose annual income (as assessed by the Inland Revenue) does not exceed the income threshold set by the Treasury.
• The ‘Guarantee’ element of the State Pension Credit

 PARENTS RECEIVING WORKING TAX CREDIT ARE NOT ELIGIBLE

 You must also:

•  Have a child in education at a maintained school

Our aim….

There are over 19,500 children in Windsor & Maidenhead schools, but only 1,335 children are currently eligible to have a free school meal.

We think there are many more children who could be eligible for Free School Meals.

We would like to help families whose children may be entitled to get free school meals to apply for them. 

Why apply?

• School dinners provide a healthy, nutritious and tasty meal
• Research shows that a school dinner can help concentration levels
• Menus are varied and are available from the school
• Schools may be able to receive additional DfE funding
• We can access funding which could be used towards the cost of some school visits or activities for those children who are eligible for Free School Meals.

 Applying for free school meals is fast and easy.

Please complete the form below (Part A) and take it into your child’s school. The school may be able to have your entitlement checked electronically making the process much quicker.

Your child could start receiving Free School Meals TODAY!
