Parents, could your child be eligible for free school meals?
You don't need to worry about other children knowing your child gets free school meals. Only the school and catering staff will know. As you know, our system is electronic so students with free school meals just automatically have their account credited, they don't have to add any money to the account.
You could save £400 a year for each child and your children could benefit from a good hot meal at lunchtime. As a school will benefit too, students with free school meals get the pupil premium of £935 a year from the government. This can be spent on additional opportunities and support for these students. At New Mills School and Sixth Form, we use our pupil premium money in a wide variety of ways, providing support both in lessons and for extra-curricular events and trips.
