School Meals
During the transition phase, the team will outline arrangements for school meals with each provider. Please be assured that this arrangement will continue if your child is entitled to free school meals.
Free School Meals
Pupils that are eligible for Free school meals are required to register their details through the academy.
The pupil premium is additional funding given to publicly funded schools in England to raise attainment. This additional funding for schools can help to buy new equipment and resources.
If you are not currently eligible but feel there has been a change to your circumstances, then please follow the link below for more information and how to apply to check eligibility.
Free School Meal Vouchers
Those who are eligible for Free School Meals are entitled to receive vouchers for the school holiday periods. These are £15 per week and a one-off £50 for the summer holidays
The school holidays are as follows:-
- October Half Term = 2 Weeks = £30
- Christmas Holidays = 2 Weeks = £30
- February Half Term = 1 Week = £15
- Easter Holidays = 2 Weeks = £30
- May Half Term = 1 Week = £15
- Summer Holidays = 5 Weeks = £50
An email will usually be sent out the week before we break up for any of the above periods and is sent directly from Sodexo where you will be provided a link to follow to choose which supermarket you would like your voucher for.
If you are entitled to Free School Meals and do not receive a voucher, please do not hesitate to get in touch with the main office on 0115 9151271.
Transport
Pupils are eligible for a free bus pass if they currently in receipt of free school meals and live more than 2 miles away from the academy.
You will need to go onto the council website to do this and fill out the form and provide all proof required. The school have no involvement of renewing / issuing bus passes and it is the parent / carers responsibility to ensure this is done on time.
