Universal Free School Meals for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 Children
Every pupil in reception, year 1 and 2 are eligible for universal free school meals. This is something that the Government wants across the country.
We believe that the school lunchtime is a great opportunity for all our children to sit down together and enjoy their healthy and tasty meal, while developing their social skills. We therefore hope that all parents will take up this offer of a free school meal for our infant pupils.
We ask that you complete the appropriate for below and return it as soon as possible. This is important so that we can continue to register pupils who attract pupil premium, which is worth £1,300 a year per pupil for our school. If you have any questions, please contact us on 01904 806655 or call in to the school office.
I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity for your child to enjoy a healthy, balanced and nutritious meal every day.
Are you eligible for Free School Meals?
Pupils in all years may be entitled to free school meals due to their family circumstances. This helps to increase the funding the school receives via the pupil premium grant, and we ask all parents to apply for free school meals whether or not you believe your child will be eligible. Please see the http://northyorks.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals for guidance. We use an online system to process our free school meal applications and ask for your consent to apply on your behalf when your child joins our school. This ensures that if your circumstances change, the school is automatically made aware and free school meals can be offered to your child much more swiftly than having to ask you to manually reapply. This also means that when your child moves from Year 2 to Year 3, you know whether your child will continue to receive free meals.
If you would like to apply for Free School Meals yourself, rather than giving school consent to do this on your behalf, please use the following link to do so: https://apply.cloudforedu.org.uk/ofsm/hobmoorprimary
If you are eligible for Free School Meals, it may be that your child will still prefer to bring a packed lunch on some days, or even every day, but as registering for free school meals also brings extra funding to our school to spend in the classrooms, we are keen to encourage as many parents as possible to register.
If your child prefers a packed lunch from home please see advice on healthy packed lunches on the NHS website https://www.nhs.uk/healthier-families/recipes/healthier-lunchboxes/#tips
