Free School Meals
If you have a child attending a Sheffield school or maintained nursery, you may be entitled to
income based free school meals (FSM) if you receive any of these benefits:
- Universal Credit (provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods)
- Income Support
- Income based Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Income related Employment Support Allowance
- Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
- The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit as long as you have a yearly household income of less than £16,190 (as assessed by HM Revenue and Customs) and do not get Working Tax Credit
- Working Tax Credit run-on (paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit)
Children in receipt of FSMs receive meals and milk in school for free. Parents / carers of children who are eligible for FSMs may also be eligible receive other support, such as food vouchers during the school holidays. In addition, the school receives additional funding for all FSM children who are registered with the school (Pupil Premium). This funding is to support your child's education and can
help to buy new equipment and resources.
You can check your eligibility by applying online at:
The online application can be used by parents / carers and schools. We are happy to check your eligibility for you. If you would like us to do this please contact the school office by phoning 0114 2883109, emailing enquiries@stocksbridge-nur.sheffield.sch.uk or calling into the school office in person.
FSMs differ from the universal infant free school meals scheme (UIFSM), which provides funding for all government funded schools to offer free school meals to pupils in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2.
UIFSMs also entitles all children to receive free milk in school up to the age of 5 years old. Children in receipt of FSMs continue to receive free milk in school after the age of 5 years old. Parents / Carers of children over 5 years old who are not in receipt of FSMs pay for their child to continue to receive milk in school.
We write to all parents / carers at the end of each term to ask them to order milk in school for their child during the next half term. The full cost to receive milk in school for each half term has to be paid at the start of the half term. Orders / payments are made via our payment portal ParentPay.
