  • Income Support
  • Jobseekers Allowance
  • Employment and Support Allowance

This money would help us to continue to do all the things that make our school the best-

  • Highly qualified teaching staff
  • Thinc Room provision
  • Forrest School provision
  • Clubs
  • Tea-time and Breakfast Club at a substantially reduced rate
  • Fantastic curriculum opportunities
  • Interactive Whiteboards
  • Library
  • Outstanding Music and Art provision
  • Learning Mentor
  • Netbooks and Laptops

If you think you may be entitled to claim please contact Rochdale MBC Free School Meals Section as soon as possible and let school know the outcome.

Yours sincerely
