Free School Meals applications for the academic year 2021/2022 year
The application process to apply for Free School Meals for the academic 2021/22 year will open online shortly. I anticipate that the online application process for Free School Meals and Uniform Grants will open in the first week of June but no set date has yet been given. The online application must be completed as soon as possible to ensure that the forms are processed in time for pupils returning to school. Information for new applicants on how to apply will be available shortly. I will let parents know when they become available and when the online application process opens.
Parent(s)/Guardian(s) can apply if your son or daughter is in full-time education and if you are in receipt of one of the following benefits:-
- Income Support;
- Income Based Jobseeker’s Allowance;
- Income Related Employment and Support Allowance;
- Guarantee Element of State Pension Credit;
- Child Tax Credit or Working Tax Credit with an annual taxable income of £16,190 or less;
- Universal credit and have net household earnings not exceeding £14,000 per year.
Or:-
- if you are an Asylum Seeker supported by the Home Office Asylum Support Assessment Team (ASAT); or
- if your child has a statement of special educational needs and is designated to require a special diet.
If you require any further information about free school meals or eligibility please contact Mrs Taylor on the school telephone number or contact Ballymena Meals and Uniform on 02825661355 or email [email protected]
