Parents and guardians in receipt of direct payments
for free school meals will continue to receive the payment for the first two
weeks of term, says the county council.
Those receiving the payment will be required to use
the funds to pay for their child’s meal while at school up until Friday,
September 11.
The last direct payments are being made on Monday,
September 14 (for the week of September 7th – 11th) after which children
eligible for free school meals will receive them in school free of charge.
During school closures the Council has been
providing direct payments to those eligible for free school meals with money
provided to parents or guardians instead of a school meal.
More than 3,500 children (1,900 families) were
eligible for this scheme.
