Financial Support Guidance
Financial pressures can affect young people’s education and general well-being. We want to help families who are struggling financially by providing direct support where possible with the costs of education such as uniform, educational trips and school meals and also by signposting parents and carers to other sources of financial assistance and advice.
If you think you may be eligible for Free School Meals, please make an application even if you want to provide packed lunches from home, as this will attract extra funding for our school in the form of ‘Pupil Premium’ to help with your child’s education, for support with the costs of school activities and trips and means you will receive ‘Select Grocery’ vouchers in the school holiday periods to redeem at supermarkets.
