Information on Free School Meal and School Uniform
Welsh Government PDG Access grant 2022/2023
The Minister for Education and Welsh Language recently announced that the Pupil Development Grant Access scheme will be raised for one year only by £100 per learner eligible for free school meals. This applies to all compulsory year groups (Reception to Year 11) and Looked After Children.
Funding of up to £225 is available for each eligible learner with the exception of those in Year 7. Eligible learners in Year 7 will be entitled to a maximum of £300. Pupils who receive Free School Meals due to transitional protection arrangements do not qualify for this funding.
All eligible pupils will receive their grant in August – we will pay this automatically and there is no need to apply.
If you would like any further information, please contact the School Uniform Grants Team at SUGS@pembrokeshire.gov.uk
Schools receive additional money based upon the number of pupils who are in receipt of free school meals. This money is used to provide additional staffing to support pupils.
Despite the fact that Welsh Government is rolling out universal free school meals, we still need parents to register for free schools meals to qualify for additional funding support.
A pupil may be able to get free school meals if their parent or guardian gets 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
- Guarantee element of Pension Credit
- Child Tax Credit (provided the parent isn’t entitled to Working Tax Credit and has an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
- Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after a claimant stops qualifying for Working Tax Credit to 31 March 2019, Universal Credit 1 from 1 April 2019, Universal Credit, provided the household has an annualised net earned income of no more than £7,400 (as assessed by earnings from up to three of their most recent assessment periods).
- Pupils who receive Income-related Employment and Support Allowance,
- Income Support or Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance in their own right could also be able to receive free school meals.
For children/young people to be eligible to receive free school meals:
- the parent (or child/young person) must be in receipt of the relevant benefit or support payment
- an application for free school meals should have been submitted to the local authority
- the application should have been approved, or documents should have been seen that strongly indicate eligibility.
You can apply by visiting Pembrokeshire County Council Website, or by calling into school.
If you think that you may qualify and you would like support or information, please call into our school office. Mrs. Greenish and the school admin team will be happy to help.
