How to increase free school meals - London

Venue address

National Children’s Bureau,

London,
EC1V 7QE

For many children, a free school lunch can be the only full meal they eat in a day. Yet too many pupils who would qualify are either not registered to receive their free meal, or choose not to eat it. This course explores the issues behind those choices.

This informative and engaging day gives you the opportunity to explore and understand the benefits of free school meals – for pupils, parents and for your school. We’ll explore:

Why some parents don’t register for their child to receive a free meal;
Why some children don’t eat the free meal they are offered;
The positive impact that free school meals can have.

When these elements come together, you’ll discover that there are simple solutions to many of the barriers. You’ll take away practical resources to use in tackling these at your school, along with a range of examples of how you can do this, The day is also a chance to share your experiences with others facing similar challenges, and to learn from best practice from schools and local authorities across the country.

With the direct link between Pupil Premium funding for your school and registration for free school meals, this course is invaluable if you want to secure additional funding for your pupils who most need it, but more fundamentally, to make sure they also get the benefits of good school food.

Ideal for you if:
You are committed to helping pupils from the most deprived backgrounds in your school(s) to achieve their full potential by ensuring they receive the funding, support and nutritious school meals to which they are entitled.
