FREE SCHOOL MEALS / PUPIL PREMIUM

All infant school pupils have free school meals (universal free school meals). However, the school can get extra money that can only be used to help your child at school if within the last 6 years, you have received:

• Universal Credit (provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods)
• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseekers Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• Universal Credit

If you think you might be eligible, please apply at http://www3.hants.gov.uk/hc3s/freeschoolmeals.htm.  The system will let you know and also inform the school of the outcome. Please contact the school office if you have any questions about eligibility or need assistance with your application.
