Free School Meals
Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2
All children can get a free lunch at school if they're in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2.
However, if you register now, your school could get extra funding (called 'Pupil Premium') to pay for additional staff time, extra computers, books and trips for students!
Have your National Insurance number or Home Office number ready when you apply.
Children in Year 3 or Older
Your child can get a free school meal if you receive any of the following:
- Income Support
- Income-based Jobseekers Allowance
- Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
- Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit
(as long as you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and you don't get more than £16,190 a year)
- Working Tax Credit run-on
(paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit)
- Universal Credit
(with annual earned income of no more than £7,400 after tax and not including any benefits you get)
Apply today if you receive any of these benefits. It takes 5 mins and in most cases they can tell you straightaway if your child can get free meals at school.
If your application for Free School Meals is successful, please notify admin@leverstockgreen.herts.sch.uk so we can amend your child's record.
