Free School Meals

Parents and Carers – we need your help!

A FREE tasty and nutritious school meal may be available for your children at St John Bosco Arts College… BUT YOU MUST APPLY!

The school could receive extra funding at this difficult time…. BUT YOU MUST APPLY!

If you already receive free school meals already:

You must complete this form to ensure you carry on receiving free school meals.

If you don’t receive free school meals:

We are asking you to complete the form too, so the school receives more funding.

Please complete the form by clicking here for each of your children.

L​ook at the potential benefits:

• A free school meal for your child, which is good for their health and could help their learning.
• Savings for you, worth over £400 a year.
• Extra money for the school through Pupil Premium, worth at least £900 a year.
• Support with vouchers during the holidays

Remember, just registering your child for Free School Meals means that St John Bosco Arts College receives the extra money even if you don't take up the free meal. Only you will know you have registered, and it will not affect any other benefits you are claiming.

If you want further information, then please talk to us or email enquiries@stjohnbosco.org.uk

How does it work?

1. Checking whether you qualify and registering is really quick and easy – do it online at:

2. If you want your child to have a free, healthy meal at lunchtime that’s great – they will get the free meal (saving you more than £400 a year) and the school gets extra money to help your child and others in their class.

3. If you don’t want your child to have a free school meal they can continue as normal – as long as you qualify, and are registered, the school still gets the extra money.
