If you currently receive any of these benefits, your child may be entitled to Free School Meals – this is a daily credit to spend in the school canteen at lunch, currently £2.70 per day. As a result of our cashless catering system, it is unnoticeable to your child or any other students that they receive this extra support so we really do encourage you to apply if there is even a small possibility that you could be eligible. Being eligible for Free School Meals also means your child automatically becomes eligible for something called Pupil Premium. Pupil Premium is funding given to schools so they can support eligible students, mainly to improve educational outcomes. We currently use this funding in all sorts of ways which you can see on our website. We know times continue to be tough and how much young people seem to eat as they grow so this is one small way for parents and carers to get a little more support if needed. Please click here to download the Free School Meal application form which can either be returned to school (to Mrs Mogey in Student Services) or directly to Warrington Borough Council (phoning the number on the form is usually quickest way to check your eligibility).
If you have any questions about Free School Meals, please direct them to Mrs A Mogey (amogey@lymmhigh.org.uk).
