Dear Parent/Guardian,
Neath Port Talbot Council has announced that it is rolling out free school meals to an additional 2150 primary pupils in years 5 and 6 ahead of schedule.
All children in years 5 and 6 will now receive Universal Primary free school meals from Friday 1st September 2023 (Autumn term).
The roll-out is a part of the Welsh Government’s commitment for every primary school pupil to receive a free school meal by September 2024. This is an important step in reaching the shared ambition of ensuring no child goes hungry while in school.
However parents that receive benefits that entitle their child to a free school meal are being encouraged to register for a free school meal if they haven’t already done so as they may be entitled to a SEG – School Essentials Grant.
Please rest assured that if your child is currently in receipt of free school meals and/or any other associated benefits, these will not be affected.
Kind regards,
Blaendulais Primary
