Free School Meals
​

Dear Parent / Carer

We are writing to you as the new free school meal (FSM) entitlement provider for your school.

To assist with the handover to our service, we would be grateful if you could complete a FSM application form, if you are currently eligible for free school meals, or feel that you may be eligible.  This will allow us to gather the necessary information we need to carry out the checks and provide your school with the most up to date information regarding your entitlement.

Making an application is quick and simple to do using the online application form at www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals
