At Far Forest, we are proud that our children are keen to follow a healthy lifestyle through exercise and the way that they eat. We ask parents to provide healthy options in lunch boxes and to encourage their children to drink plenty of water.
School Meals are FREE to all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. Your child may also be entitled after Year 2. This also provides extra funding to your school. You can register your child for Free School Meals if you receive any of these benefits:
• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018, your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
