Could you save over £500 a year?

Is your child entitled to ‘Free School Meals’ & ‘Pupil Premium’ to help their education?

At Prendergast Ladywell a hot healthy lunch costs £2.75 per day (£13.75 per week). If your family receives certain benefits, your child may be entitled to free school meals, which could save you over £500 a year!

This money is credited directly to your child's account at noon each day, so no one knows who receives free school meals.

In addition to free school meals, PLS will receive extra money (pupil premium) to benefit your child’s education.
