FREE SCHOOL MEAL PAYMENT UPDATES
Free School Meal payments will be made to all children, including those enrolled in special schools and EOTAS, for the period 25 Jan to 12 Feb.
Payments will be made into your nominated bank account week commencing 1 February. If we do not have your bank details, a cheque will be issued the same week.
Previously children entitled to free school meals who were enrolled in a special school but who did not attend school for a variety of reasons were entitled to receive a Food Box. The decision has now been taken to provide a free school payment to those children’s families.
All pupils, including those entitled to free school meals, who attend special schools will continue to be provided with school meals as before.
