School Meals

Is your child eligible for Free School Meals?

The rising cost of living means everyone could use a bit of help. If you are unemployed or on benefits, then you may be able to claim free school meals for your child. 

This would not only help you: it would help the school too. 

Schools are given additional funding by the Government for every child who gets free school meals. We want to obtain as much as possible so that we can improve education for all Sir John Hunt students. We are aware there are children who attend Sir John Hunt who are entitled to free school meals but do not realise it. We are also aware that some parents choose not to take up the entitlement to a free school meal. The pupil premium means that even if you don't wish to access a free daily meal, applying will mean that this school will receive further funding.

If you think your family could qualify, please make a claim as per the guidance below.

For further information on Free School Meals please visit the Plymouth City Council website here.
