Free School Meals
We have been advised by Lincolnshire County Council that there are now new measures in place for checking Free School Meal and Pupil Premium eligibility. In order to see if your child is eligible to receive Free School Meals you will no longer be required to complete the form in school giving details of your National Insurance details but now visit the ‘easy to use’ parent portal at Apply for free school meals – Lincolnshire County Council Once you have submitted your details through this portal, Sturton by Stow School will receive notification of which children are eligible.
These checks are a really important procedure as the information found will impact our School Budget. Please ensure that you follow the instructions on the portal and apply for this check to be done to ensure that your child is in full receipt of all appropriate funding and entitlements, even if you believe that your child would not be eligible.
Please do not hesitate to contact the School Office if you have any questions or concerns or if you do not have the facility to access this site through the Internet.
The following information has been communicated to us from Lincolnshire County Council.
