Dear parent / carer,

 

I am writing to you to flag up a grant that could be helpful to you in managing your money if you are on a low income.  Through the School Essentials Grant you could receive £225 per child at the school. This applies to all children across the school (with the exception of Nursery) if they are entitled to free school meals. More details and the application form are below. 

 

School Essentials Grant | Torfaen County Borough Council

 

The deadline for applications is 30^th June.

 

I do have an ulterior motive in this as well!!  Every child that is eligible for free school meals (and therefore this grant) generates roughly £1000 funding for the school.  We use this money to run various wellbeing, literacy and maths interventions and to subsidise, for example, the school trip to Gilwern.

 

Please contact me or the school office if you need any further assistance or help with this.

 

All the best,

 

Simon Bates
