Date Published:
Friday 15 January 2021

We are pleased to let you know that the national free school meals voucher scheme will be resuming to provide support to families during term time. 

The Edenred vouchers will cover the period from 18th January 2021 to 12th February 2021 (4 weeks) and will be £15 per eligible FSM pupil per week.  The scheme does not currently cover the half term holiday but we will let you know if that changes. The vouchers will be sent out via email as below:

Batch 1 of £30 per child (x2 weeks worth of vouchers) will be paid during week commencing Monday 18th January to cover weeks commencing 18th & 25th January.

Batch 2 of £30 per child (x2 weeks worth of vouchers) will be paid during week commencing Monday 1st February to cover weeks commencing 1st & 8th February.

Edenred are staggering the days on which schools can order their first batch of vouchers next week. At the moment we have not been given a date so cannot confirm which day next week you will receive your voucher code. Once we have been able to place the order with Edenred we will send out a text, but in the meantime please keep an eye on your emails including junk folders.

If you have any questions, please use our admin email (admin@northgosforth.co.uk) for communication with us about free school meals.
