Free School Meals

In England a Free School Meal (FSM) is a statutory benefit available to school-aged children from families who receive other qualifying benefits and who have been through the relevant registration process.  Eligible students receive a daily allocation on their catering account of £4.00 per day (September 2024 onwards).

School & Community Fund

Parents and carers are requested to make voluntary contributions to our School & Community Fund.  We ringfence 20% of the amount that you contribute for the benefit of our school community.  This will provide funding to allow us to act quickly to support students, staff, parents, carers and members of our West Kirby alumni, who need support and who would otherwise have nowhere to turn to for help.  This community support may take the form of Free School Meals for ineligible students, school uniform, footwear, support for household food and energy bills and other urgent needs identified by our Pastoral Team.
