Free School Meals
If you feel that your child may be entitled to a free school meal, please read the following information to assess whether he/she is eligible.
It is very important that you claim for these meals, even if your child does not want a cooked meal.
This is because, once you have registered your child as needing a free school meal, your child will be entitled to extra funding throughout their time at Fairfield Primary School.
This will enable our School to buy extra resources for your child.
