Free School Meals & How To Apply

Free School Meals

It has never been easier to apply for free school meals. Click here to access the Cambridge County Council website for clear guidance on how to apply online. The application form is easy to complete but we can help you with this at school if you would like further assistance.

Pupils who receive free school meals have £2.35 placed on their Cashless Catering at the start of every school day. This can be spent at breakfast club, break or lunchtime in the canteen. The pupil cannot be identified as receiving free school meals when they use their biometric identity so the process is completely private.

When you register your children for free school meals, the Academy will receive a sum of money from the Government for each child, this fund is called Pupil Premium. For more details on how Pupil Premium funds are spent, please visit our Pupil Premium page.

Should you wish to obtain more information from the Academy regarding free school meals, please contact Helen Ford in our Accounts Department: HFord@sawtryva.org
