Woking High School

We understand that this is a difficult time for many families and that circumstances may have changed recently. Therefore, we would like to share with you the process for requesting free school meals.

Your child may be entitled to free school meals if you receive any of the following:

• Income Support

• income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance

• income-related Employment and Support Allowance

• support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

• the guaranteed element of Pension Credit

• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)

• Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit

• Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

Children who receive these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or carer, can also access free school meals.

Financial support is also available for students who are eligible for free school meals, if you need additional support then please contact me via email skennedy@wokinghigh.surrey.sch.uk.
