Free School Meals

School dinners are now FREE for all pupils. However we ask that all families that are eligible apply for free school meals as the school receives significant additional funding for each of these pupils that is then used to enhance provision.

A website is now available where parents/carers where parents can quickly and easily check eligibility for free school meals and, if eligible, also gain some additional funding for Holy Trinity, known as 'Pupil Premium'.  These funds enable schools to take on additional staff and invest in additional equipment, resources and activities to benefit all children. 

Please click on the link below to see if your child is eligible for Free School Meals.

If eligible, you are not obliged to accept the free school meals for your child if you wish to make other arrangements, but we do want to encourage applications as the additional funding gained would still benefit education provision at the school. 

What the service does for parents:

 After entering essential details into the web site, the online application process links to the Department for Education system for checking eligibility and gives and immediate ‘yes’ or ‘no’ response, and will notify the school. 

 This system Is being provided to encourage parents to apply and take advantage of free school meals while at the same time increasing the benefit to schools from Pupil Premium funding, a substantial amount of which does not reach schools because not all parent s who are eligible apply for free meals for their child. 

 By way of a ‘thank you’ to parents for taking part, and regardless of individual outcomes, The London Grid for Learning (LGFL) would like to provide parents of children attending LGFL-connected school with Sophos Anti-Virus software, free of charge, to protect the computers used by pupils at home. 

 To gain access to this software there is a short registration process which will also give you access, if required, to other LGFL services and benefits that are available to your child’s school.  Please be assured there is no catch, no cost and no advertising.  LGFL (a UK education charity set up in 2001 and owned by London’s 33 local authorities) exists to support education and is leading this initiative to make it easier for parents to apply for free school meals and to encourage the drawdown of unclaimed Pupil Premium.
