The Free School Meals Service has moved

From Monday 31 October 2016, the Free School Meals Service is moving from the Assessment Team at St Peter’s House, Broadstairs to the Schools’ Personnel Service at Worrall House, 30 Kings Hill Avenue, West Malling, Kent ME19 4AE.

From this date, please send any paper applications to Worrall House. A revised application form will be available on the SPS website. In the first instance, please encourage parents/guardians to apply online.

For the month of November 2016, any forms sent to St Peters House, Broadstairs in error will be redirected to Worrall House.

Online Applications - As you are aware, applications for free school meals should be made by parents in the first instance online
via the Free School Meals website as this provides a quicker and more efficient assessment. We would appreciate that you encourage parents to make online applications wherever possible, especially as so many parents now have smartphones to access the internet, should they not have a home PC. Parents may also be able to access a computer at the local library.

The Free School Meals Service phone number and email address remain unchanged. Advice and support will continue to be available to parents and schools:

Telephone: 03000 41 51 23
Email: FreeSchoolMeals@kent.gov.uk

The School login to the Online Free School Meal service also remains unchanged via the KCC Cloud For Edu website

The Schools’ Personnel Service will keep you informed of any further changes that may be made to the administration of the Free School Meals Service on the SPS website.
