You can pick up a Application for 'Free School Meals' at the college reception or the welfare office.
Eligibility

Free School Meals are available only to children whose parents/guardians are in receipt of one or more of the following benefits:

* Income Support
* Income - Based Job Seekers Allowance
* Support under Part VI of the immigration and Asylum Act 1999
* Families in receipt of Child Tax Credit will also qualify provided that (a) they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and (b) their annual income, as assessed by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs, does not exceed £15,575 (as at 6 April 2008, subject to annual review)
* Guarantee element of State Pension Credit

Families receiving any other Benefits are not entitled to free school meals.

You will need to provide proof of eligibility before your application for free meals can be approved. The type of evidence will depend on which benefit(s) you receive as follows:

If you receive CHILD TAX CREDIT (but not working Tax Credit) and have an annual taxable income of less than £15,575, you must supply a photocopy of your most recent TAX CREDIT AWARD notice (Form TC602) issued to you by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs.

If you receive the 'Guaranteed' element of STATE PENSION CREDIT you must produce a copy of your most recent PENSION CREDIT M1000 Award notice.

If you receive support under part VI of the immigration and Asylum Act 1999, you must supply a copy of the letter from the N.A.S.S confirming such benefit.

If you receive INCOME SUPPORT or INCOME - BASED JOB SEEKER'S ALLOWANCE bring (or send photocopies) documentary evidence that you are receiving such benefit. This may be your payment book, giro cheque or letter from your Benefits Office/ Job Centre but this must state the type of benefit you are receiving. If you are unable to supply such evidence of benefit, ask the Benefits Job Centre which deals with your claim.
