We will be doing maintenance to our website systems on Sunday, 23 August. Despite the ongoing situation with Covid-19 it is essential that we maintain the security of our systems. This will help us continue to deliver vital public health messages and information about council services via our website and allow you all to access our services using online forms. The work should be done with little disruption to you and any interruption should be short. If you do have problems accessing the site or something doesn’t work on Sunday, please try again later.
Following the introduction of Universal Credit a pupils FSM status will be protected until either the end of the Universal Credit roll out period, i.e. 31 March 2022, or until the end of their current phase of education.
. This means that:
Schools should also be aware that where they enter census details of pupils ending FSM after 1st April 2018, they should check with the FSM team at the Council first to find out the reason why entitlement has ended.
All children who are entitled to Free School Meals will show on your BSO list, whether they are covered by transitional protection or not. Please continue to only give a Free School Meal to the children who show on this list.
