Free School Meals
Many of our children are entitled to receive, through the schools, an additional large sum of money to support their education called ‘Pupil Premium’. The school use this money to provide extra support for your child and also to subsidize trips and clubs for Pupil Premium families so that those families get a significant discount. As well as the additional educational funding, Pupil Premium pupils at Blue Coat Junior School are entitled to a free school meal every day.
If you wish to apply for Pupil Premium / Free School Meal funding for your child, please speak to staff in the School office. If you are not sure if you will qualify, please apply anyway as if your child is entitled, it will give them access to greater support and resources.
Your child will qualify for free school meals/pupil premium if you or your partner are receiving:
- Income Support (IS)
- Income Based Job Seekers Allowance (JSA(IB))
- Employment and Support Allowance (IncomeRelated) (ESA (IR))
- Child Tax Credit (CTC), provided you do not also receive Working Tax Credit and have an annual income, as assessed by the Inland Revenue, that does not exceed £16,190
- Guarantee Credit element of State Pension Credit Support under Part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
