  • Income Support
  • Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance

Please complete the form using this link https://fsm.lgfl.net/app/school/14503 to check if your child is eligible for Free School Meals. Once you have submitted, eligibility will be securely checked against government records. The result will appear on screen immediately and will also be sent to your email address. The school will automatically receive the application and the child will be placed on Free School Meals from the next school day.

If your child received free school meals at her previous school you will still need to apply to ensure your child receives free school meals at this school.

If you register for your child to have free school meals but would prefer them not to take advantage of this, they can continue as normal.
