If you are awaiting free school meals or uniform grant payment, please be assured that our staff are working through all applications and processing the uniform grant claims for payment on a weekly basis. If you have a query please send us a message to this page.
PLEASE NOTE THAT PART OF THE FUNDING ALLOCATED TO SCHOOLS IS BASED ON THE % OF CHILDREN ENTITLED TO FREE SCHOOL MEALS. I WOULD URGE YOU TO MAKE AN APPLICATION AT THIS STAGE, EVEN IF YOUR CHILD IS A ‘PICKY EATER’ AND YOU FEEL THAT HE/SHE WOULD NOT BE KEEN ON THE MIDDAY MEAL IN SCHOOL. IT IS ADVISED THAT YOU MAKE THE APPLICATION AND PERHAPS IN DUE COURSE THE MEALS WILL APPEAL TO YOUR LITTLE ONE.
