Free School Meals
Students at Park Academy West London are entitled to free school meals if you as parent or carer are in receipt of the following benefits:
Income Support (IS)
Income Based Job Seeker’s Allowance (IBJSA)
Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
Child Tax Credit, provided that the annual income is less than £16,190 (as assessed by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs) and you are NOT in receipt of Working Tax Credit
The Guarantee element of State Pension Credit
Income Related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)
Simple to apply
We actively encourage all families entitled to free school meals to make a claim, however we know that it can be both daunting and difficult to find the required evidence, bring it into the Academy for copying and wait for your paperwork to be returned. Some parents or carers are not even sure if they are entitled to free school meals, so they don’t apply.
In order to reduce the burden of evidence on our students’ parents and carers, and encourage as many as possible to apply, we have introduced a simple process.
The Free School Meals application form can be downloaded from the bar below. Please complete the form and return it to Park Academy’s Student Services. Don’t forget to include your National Insurance Number.
We will process the application on our behalf and will confirm your eligibility with a simple ‘Entitled’ or ‘Not Entitled’. If any applications are returned to us as ‘Not Entitled’ we will inform you immediately. No other information is provided to the Academy and your details remain confidential.
The application lasts for one year; however it is your responsibility to let us know if your circumstances change during the year.
Park Academy West London’s restaurant service is run by Cucina.
The menu lists the separate weeks of food selections and contains the lunch product list. Breakfast is served every morning. The new menu lists will be available shortly.
