Grants for children

 

Applying for Free School Meals could not be easier.  Click on the following link to see if you are eligible.  Being eligible for free school meals means that further financial help is available to you, including the school essentials grant, music lessons and some school trips.  We also receive funding based on the number of eligible pupils who attend our school which means we are able to provide even more learning opportunities for your child.
