Free School Meals

We want to make sure as many eligible pupils as possible are claiming their free school meals. If your child goes to school within the Cheshire West and Chester area, you may be able to claim free school meals. You need to apply through Cheshire West and Chester Council if you are receiving one of the benefits listed below:

  • Income Support
  • Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
  • Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
  • Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
  • Universal Credit – if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household earnings must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

Our school contact for Free School Meals is Sophie Dowling – Business Administration Assistant.
