Prosper Learning Trust (PLT) will continue to provide a free school meal for every pupil during the school day.

This has been in place since January 2023 and means that children who do not receive Free School Meals from the Government can still have a school lunch at no cost to their family.

The Trustees have agreed that this support will continue until further notice.

If you would like to find out more, please visit the relevant Local Authority website.

Please note that this offer only covers lunches during the school day. It does not give access to Free School Meal support during the school holidays. Holiday support is only available to children who qualify for the Government's Free School Meals scheme. 

We hope this support continues to help you and your family.
