Free School MealsThis message is regarding children who receive Free School Meals
Dear Parents/ Carers of children who receive Free School Meals,
Manchester City Council has agreed today to provide funding for all children from Nursery Year 6 who are eligible for a benefits related Free School Meal over the half term break next week. This does not include children who get a free school meal through the Universal Scheme.
Eligible families will receive a cash payment of £15 per child for the week and will need to claim through the Welfare provision scheme on the Council's website - the link is copied below. The scheme will continue to be open for 2 weeks after half term up until 13th November.
Follow the link below if your child receives Free School Meals to apply for the voucher:

£90 Summer Holiday VoucherDear Parents/Carers
You would have seen in the media that Free School Meal vouchers are continuing throughout the summer holiday. One voucher of £90 will be paid to parents who qualify.
As a school, we have to process the vouchers before the summer holiday. With this in mind, all Parents/Carers who haven't already registered need to register before Thursday 9th July.
We strongly encourage all Parents/Carers to follow the link and complete the form especially if your circumstances have changed. We are finding more families who haven't realised they are entitled to receive this support. Please fill in the form as you could be missing out on a £90 food voucher which will be sent to families during the summer holiday.
Please follow the link below:

Important information, from the local authority, if you use public transport.Transport for Greater Manchester has produced a card that people can carry if they are exempt from wearing face coverings while travelling on public transport. People who are exempt include those who have a disability that means they cannot put on a face covering, people who rely on lip reading to communicate, and people who would be caused distress by wearing a face covering.
I have attached information from TfGM on how to apply for a card. - 26 Jun 2020
