Free School Meals Over Half-Term
Manchester City Council have agreed to provide funding for all children who are eligible for a benefits related free school meal. This does not include the universal scheme that children from Rec - Y2 are eligible for. However, please be aware that if you have a child in these year groups & you as a family are eligible for benefits (see below), you will be able to receive it. Families are to receive a cash payment for the week by claiming through the attached link below. This will continue to be open until 13th November, so that it can be claimed retrospectively, if you are unable to claim next week.
