Free School Meals

Cheshire East provides two types of Free School Meals to children attending St Mary’s.

  • Universal Infant Free School Meals _Classes 1 to 9)
  • Income Related Free School Meals

Does my child have to eat the free school meal?

NO – Pupils who are registered for free school meals can continue to bring a packed lunch from home. By registering your child, St Mary’s will still receive the additional funding that can support your child in other ways.

How do I claim?

To check your child’s eligibility is a very simple process as follows:

Telephone Cheshire East on 0300 123 5012

Cheshire East uses the Government eligibility checker to confirm your entitlement and successful claims can begin on the same day eligibility is checked. Claims are not backdated
