We can provide financial support towards College trips and activities, equipment, uniform and books (dependent on course requirements) for
young people who were in receipt of free meals at school, and young people where household income falls below £32,600 (most other Colleges fix this at around £20,000).
FREE EDUCATION MEALS
We offer free meals to students who are from low income households. Eligible students will receive credit on their ID cards to spend at the catering facilities in college at the daily meal rate of £3 per day that they are timetabled to be in college, or £15 per week.
To apply for free meals students must be:
· Aged between 16 and 18 years on 31 August 2021, or aged over 19 and continuing on the same study programme (19+ continuers) they started before they turned 19
· Have an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP)
Students are eligible for a free meal where they meet the criteria and satisfy the residency criteria set out in the EFA ‘Funding regulation’ guidance for the 2021 to 2022 academic year.
