Free School Meal Provision during School Closure
Free School Meal Vouchers - (Not for KS1 Universal Meal Scheme. This is only for those families who have means tested FSM entitlement)
We are once again able to provide free school meal vouchers. Parents & carers of children entitled to Free School Meals need to contact school (admin@stgilesce.net) with their preferred email address. They will receive their e-voucher by email, to the email address they have provided us with, this can then be presented at your chosen supermarket on their smartphone. If you wish to use the e-voucher scheme and have already registered an email with school through parent pay we can use this email.
Paper vouchers can be produced but due to social distancing restrictions in place, this is not something we are encouraging.
Please contact the school at admin@stgilesce.net if, your email address changes or if, you would like to to receive paper vouchers.
Please read the Edenred FAQ for more information.
Vouchers will not be available for the February Half Term Holiday week
