Free School Meal Vouchers Update

There has been some updated guidance on who is now eligible for free school meal vouchers below.

During the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we are temporarily extending free school meals eligibility to include some groups who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF), including:

• children of Zambrano carers
• children of families with no recourse to public funds with a right to remain in the UK on grounds of private and family life under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights
• children of families receiving support under Section 17 of the Children Act 1989 who are also subject to a no recourse to public funds restriction

We are also temporarily extending free school meal eligibility to children of a subset of failed asylum seekers supported under Section 4 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.

This extension is temporarily in place due to the current unique circumstances. It covers both children who are attending school and children who are at home.

If you are now eligible and have the right documentation for these vouchers please contact the school office by email or phone.
