To ensure we continue to support you in the provision of your child’s free school meal, we are in the process of setting up evouchers through the governments recommended provider, Edenred. At the moment you do not need to do anything, as we are taking care of this for you. Once set up they will email you directly with your evoucher number as well as some instructions as to what you need to do to use it.
I have attached the parent/carer guidance and i strongly recommend that you take some time to read this. It also lists which supermarkets accept the vouchers, however, you must go online and choose which one.

As the vouchers are only to be issued during school terms, your first weekly payment will be processed on Friday 17th April, then every Friday thereafter. If you have more than one qualifying child in our school then we will process one voucher that equates to your the full value due to you, i.e. 1 child = £15 per week, 3 children = £45 per week.
If you have emailed school requesting these vouchers, then you will receive them. If you have changed your mind and would like them, just contact school.
If you do not receive your email on or before midday on the 17th April, please check your ‘junk’ email prior to contacting school.
As it is a new system, we are expecting a few issues, fingers crossed there wont be!
Take care
Mrs Raine
Operations Manager
