Monk Fryston Newsletter 29.11.24

Thank you for supporting the Cut Your Carbon activities. As a school, we completed 957 activities during November, which is amazing!

We have had to remove the curtains from the school hall. If you would like to purchase a square of the memorable fabric as a souvenir you can do so by making a donation to the PTA on ParentPay, just add the comment 'Curtains'

Open Classrooms will take place after school on 11th November. Please do come along at look at your child’s learning from this term.

Did your child miss the flu vaccine in school? If so there are a number of flu catch up clinics in the York and Selby area.

Please call 01904 237 680 to book a time slot at your preferred location.

​If you are in receipt of certain benefits, your child could also qualify for free school meals during all school years. To qualify you must be receiving:

• Universal Credit, provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods (£616.67 per month)

• Income Support

• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance

• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance

• Support under part six of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

• The guarantee element of Pension Credit

• Child Tax Credit, provided you are also not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual household gross income that does not exceed £16,190 (as assessed by HMRC)

• Working Tax Credit run-on, paid for four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit

Please note that contributions-based benefits, including contribution-related Jobseekers' Allowance do not entitle you to claim free school meals.

Apply for free school meals

You will receive an instant decision on whether your application is successful. If it is, we will fully process the application in 5 working days and notify the school. Once the school has received this your child can begin enjoying free school meals. You should continue to pay until confirmation comes through. Schools may be able to arrange reimbursement of payment made while your entitlement is being confirmed.

Free school meals claims cannot be backdated. They are awarded from the date we receive the application, once eligibility is confirmed. This is because there is a legal requirement for a request to be made, before a free school meal can be provided. If you are not entitled to free school meals, you will be notified in writing.
