IMPORTANT FUNDING
Dear Parent/Carer
From September 2014 all children who are in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 here at Heathlands Primary Academy will be offered a free healthy school lunch under the 'Universal Free School Meal' Government initiative. Children in other school years will also be offered a free school lunch if their parent is receiving any of the welfare benefits listed.
Registering could raise money for our School
Registering for free meals could raise an extra £1,300 for Heathlands Primary Academy, to fund valuable support like extra tuition, additional teaching staff or after school activities.
This additional money is available from central government for every child whose parent is receiving one of the welfare benefits listed in the form. It is therefore important to sign up for free school meals, even if your child is in Nursery, Reception, Year 1 or Year 2, so that our school receives as much funding as possible.
How the information in this form will be used
The information you provide in this form will be used by the council to confirm receipt of one of the listed welfare benefits. Once this is confirmed, this helps to decide how much money our school will receive each year.
The information will also be used in relation to children in Year 3 or above to decide whether they are eligible for free school meals.
This information will be assessed periodically.
We are committed to ensuring that the personal and sensitive information that we hold about you is protected and kept safe and secure, and we have measures in place to prevent the loss, misuse or alteration of your personal information.
We will use the information you provide to assess entitlement to free school meals. The information may also be shared with other Council departments to offer benefits and services.
