Monk Fryston Newsletter 20.6.25

Don’t forget that next Tuesday is our athlete sponsored event. This is an exciting opportunity for our children to work with a world-class athlete and be sponsored to reach activity goals. All the proceeds go to PTA and therefore back into school, so please try to get as much sponsorship as possible. You can watch a video about the event here -https://drive.google.com/file/d/10RKdCFbTqMatOaInInq1UslBaz3-6NAD/view?usp=sharing

Sadly, Mrs Gibson has secured a new role outside teaching and will leave our schools in the summer. We would like to thank her for all the work she has done across our federation and wish her good luck for the future. We are recruiting a GTA to start in September.

Thank you to those who found time to complete the parent survey. Your feedback is much appreciated. Governors will evaluate this over the coming weeks and will use it to help shape the school development plan for next year.

Up 4 Yorkshire are providing interesting free training sessions about Islam, including information about terrorism and political thinking, for anyone. Please see the attached flyer if you are interested.

Congratulations to Mrs Woodfine who has successfully completed an apprenticeship in supporting teaching & learning.

​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.
