Free School Meals - worth applying even if you’re not sure!
Free School Meal (FSM) eligibility is changing from September 2026. Many families are entitled to Free School Meals and don’t realise it. Applying is quick, confidential, and could save your family money while supporting your child and our school.
Why should you apply?
- Your child gets a free, healthy school meal every day
- You could save money on food costs
- The school may receive extra funding to support children’s learning
- Ap
- plying will not affect your other benefits
- Your application is private
How to apply – it only takes a few minutes
Go to the council website (www.blackburn.gov.uk) and search “Free School Meals” or scan the QR Code. Complete the online form (you’ll need your National Insurance number). Wait for confirmation – the school will be informed automatically.
There’s nothing to lose!
Sports Day – Important Message
The weather forecast for tomorrow is very similar to today - more rain showers. We do need the ground to be dry for the children to be able to take part safely and so we will not be holding Sports Day tomorrow; due to other things happening in school we will now aim to hold this on Tuesday 7th July.
