You will be eligible for assistance if you:

• do not have more than £1000 in savings

• do not receive free school meals voucher support from your child’s school over the school holidays, for any child within your household.

If you are referring yourself, you will need to provide proof of residence at a Kent address as part of your application. If you are unsure of your eligibility for free school meals, contact your child’s school or email our Free School Meals team at freeschoolmeals@kent.gov.uk.

Message for Year 5 parents -  Dear families of Year 5,

The pupils in Year 5 have been invited to see the Chatham and Clarendon House Grammar School’s performance of Matilda on Wednesday 5^th February. This is a free event.

We will be leaving school at 8.35am and walking to the event. Your child will need to arrive promptly that day to allow us enough time to get to the performance on time. Please ensure your child wears comfortable shoes (trainers are allowed) and also brings a coat. We will be walking there and back, regardless of the weather. We will back in time for our normal lunch time.

There will be an opportunity for the children to buy an ice lolly during the interval. This is optional. If you would like your children to purchase an ice lolly, please send them in with £1 in a named envelope on the day. Alternatively, they may bring a snack in their pockets to eat during the interval. No sweets please.

If your child is attending the Young Voices trip on the same day, they will be supervised until they leave.
