Many families and children across the UK are missing out on the opportunity to access free school meals and other additional support that is attached with this funding.
At Seaford Head School we believe that every child should have the same opportunities to meet their potential regardless of their background or where they’re from.
Learners who are registered for free school meals have access to a daily free meal in the school canteen.
Through FSM funding we are also able to support learners with free revision materials and access to trip discounts, along with whole school academic interventions to improve personal and educational outcomes.
Free School Meals
Children may get free school meals if their parents or carers receive benefits.
If you are unsure whether you are eligible for free school meals or want to make an application, you can do that here: https://www.eastsussex.gov.uk/education-learning/schools/school-life/school-meals/free-school-meals
If you have already been registered it might be worth checking if this is still valid. Some applications need to be renewed when moving to secondary school or expire after a certain amount of years.
If you are still having issues you can contact ESCC Free School Meals team: Email: Free.SchoolMeals@eastsussex.gov.uk
