Support during February half-term for pupils eligible for benefits related Free School Meals

• The COVID Winter Grant Scheme will be running again for the February half term and parents/carers of children in your school/setting who are eligible for benefits related Free School Meals will be receiving financial support for food for 7 days (15th - 21st February) to the value of £21 per child.  

• As last time (during the Christmas holiday period) a letter will be sent out to Heads this week which will include instructions on how to provide us with latest pupil data and a template letter to parents/carers.  The Council's Welfare Team will require data returns by Friday 29th January.

• Thank you once again for supporting us to ensure all eligible families receive the funding for food over February half term.
