All children in Foundation, Year 1 and Year 2 receive a Universal Free School Meal every day. But if you’re in receipt of certain benefits, your child may also be entitled to Pupil Premium Funding – and this needs to be applied for separately.

With Pupil Premium, your child could benefit from:
🌟 Free school meals every day in term-time
🌟 Supermarket vouchers during holidays
🌟 Holiday club funding

In addition, your child’s school will receive Pupil Premium funding, which can help with:
🌟 Extra support for your child’s learning
🌟 Possible support for uniform, school trips & after-school clubs

Applying is simple – you’ll just need your name, date of birth and National Insurance number.

Call the Leicestershire County Council Helpline on 0116 305 5417
Or apply online via the Free School Meals section of the portal at https://leicestershire.cloud.servelec-synergy.com/Synergy/

It only takes a few minutes, but it can make a huge difference – and support cannot be backdated, so apply as soon as possible.

If you would like any help applying, please talk to one of our office team.
