Parents can now apply for Free School Meals using an online application form provided by Cambridgeshire County Council. The form is simple to complete and you don't need to provide paper proof of benefit. The system will automatically check your child's entitlement to Free School Meals and whether they are eligible for the Secondary School Clothing Allowance. Once approved, the County Council will check that you continue to qualify for free school meals on a regular basis, using the Secure Electronic Checking System. To apply and qualify on-line, please go to the Cambridgeshire County Council website. We can also help you to do this at the college.

Sixth Form Students who receive free school meals have £2.20 placed on their Cashless Catering cards at the start of every school day.  This can be spent at break or lunchtime either in The Core or in the school buttery and canteen. Students cannot be identified as receiving free school meals when they use their card; the process is completely private. 

Please contact Mrs Ann Raymond, at school, in confidence, on 01223 263220 with any queries.
