Dear Parents and Carers,
As part of the Government’s Universal Infant Free School Meal (“UIFSM”) Scheme, Coleham School provides all pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 with school meals free of charge.
As your child will be progressing to Year 3 in September 2023, their entitlement to UIFSM will come to an end on Friday 21st July 2023 and you will be required to pay for school meals going forward. A school meal costs £2.40 per day and is payable by your child’s Arbor account (the school will cease using ParentPay at the end of the Summer term). You will be able to pay in September once we have set up the new system.
If your child would like a school meal they let the teacher know when they call out the register in the morning.
If you think you may be eligible for the Benefit-based Free School Meal Scheme please click on the link below to be directed to Shropshire Council’s FSM page where you can find information about eligibility and an online application form:
