Monk Fryston Newsletter 9.5.25

The STAR MAT is holding an online survey of parents. This will ask for your views on our school. The survey opens on 16th May, and we would encourage as many families as possible to complete it.

KS2 SAT week takes place from 12th May. It is important that all children attend on time that week, and we give our Year 6 children every opportunity to do their very best in their tests.

Don’t forget that the PTA disco takes place on 21st May, and a date for your diary that the PTA bbq will be on the evening of Friday 4th July.

As we enter the current warm weather spell, North Yorks police has asked us to remind children of the dangers of entering open water to cool down or swim in, and to keep safe in and around these waters.

​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.
