Changes to Free School Meals
Dear Parent/Guardians,
We have been informed that Free School Meals are changing the criteria from the end of this academic year. As of September 2026 your child will not automatically carry on receiving free school meals throughout their school years including nursery and Years 3-6. This will now be calculated annually for eligibility. Universal free school meals for Reception and Years 1-2 will remain the same, however it is still essential that the enclosed form is completed for every child.
Paper forms have been handed out but we do have a new link below for your convenience. If this could be completed asap so Free School Meals can continue in September.
If you have any queries please contact the school office and we will try to help in any way we can.
Kind Regards
William Cassidi CofE Aided Primary School
Price Increase 26/27
Dear Parent/Guardians,
I have been informed by Stockton Borough Council that from September 2026 school meal prices will increase to £3.61 per day, £18.05 per week.
Please inform school if you would like your child to change to packed lunches in September as ordering will take place over the holidays.
Prices are chargeable from Y3 to Y6 and Nursery. All Reception to Y2 children are still universally free.
If you have any queries please contact myself on the school number or email.
Many thanks
Mrs Amanda Barrett
