Year 6 Free School Meals
For parents of children who currently receive free school meals in Year 6, who will transfer to secondary school in September 2023:
Please follow the guidance below regarding free school meals at secondary transfer:
In most cases, if your child is transferring to a secondary school in Enfield their free school meal entitlement will automatically transfer to your accepted secondary school in September 2023, you do not have to make a new application for free school meals for secondary transfer.
However, there are a few secondary schools in Enfield who have their own administration process for free school meals, they are:
Aim North London
Ark John Keats
Oasis Academy Enfield
Oasis Academy Hadley
Wren Academy Enfield
If you have accepted a secondary school place at one of the above schools. To ensure your child receives their continued free school meal entitlement, please contact the school directly for advice on their process.
If you have accepted a secondary school place for your child in one of the neighbouring Boroughs. For example: Barnet, Cheshunt, Haringey etc. - to ensure your child receives their continued free school meal entitlement, please contact the school or the Local Authority where the school is located for advice on their process.
When your child starts their new school in September 2023, if they do not receive their free school meal entitlement, please speak to school as early in the term as possible to let them know your child received free school meals at primary school and ask them to investigate this for you.
