Free School Meals

A lot of people don't apply for free school meals. That's why we are continuing with our campaign to encourage all families to register regardless of whether they believe they may be eligible.

Pupils are all offered the same food and sit in the same area to eat. They don't have to have them every day, but it will save you money and time in making a packed lunch.

You could save over £400 a year and benefit Pinxton Village Academies too as we receive pupil premium of £1,320 from the government for each child registered as eligible for free school meals. Pupil premium supports the learning and wellbeing of children and is used to buy resources, subsidise school trips, provide training for staff and fund support.
