New - Allergy Matrix

HC3S would like to invite you to take a look at the new allergy matrix available now on our website http://hc3sprimarymenu.mysaffronportal.com/  

We always strongly recommend to parents that full registration is made for any child with food allergies, however, if a parent chooses not to register their child for a special diet, the information contained in the allergy matrix will be enable parents to make informed choices with their child.   The matrix relates to the ingredients available in our current standard menu and provides information for the 14 main allergens.

Do I Qualify for Free School Meals?

Free school meals are available to pupils in receipt of, or whose parents are in receipt of, one or more of the following benefits:

• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get).

            No other benefits qualify.

There are two ways to see if you are eligible for Free School Meals.

Firstly you can check online at https://www3.hants.gov.uk/hc3s/freeschoolmeals.htm

You will need the following information to complete the check:

• Your National Insurance Number or National Asylum Support Service reference number
• Child’s name, date of birth and school

This will give you an immediate response and the school will be notified that you have applied.

Alternatively you can ask the school office to check for you.  Just hand in your full name, date of birth and your national insurance number and we will run the check for you and let you know the results.
