We offer a Free School Meal (FSM) eligibility checking service for academies, providing verification of which pupils are eligible to receive FSM. This provides vital evidence for academies to claim the Pupil Premium, in the region of £1,000 per pupil, per annum. There is no statutory requirement for local authorities to provide this service to academies.
Why choose us?
We have been processing FSM applications for over five years now, accessing and determining applications against state benefits. We have access to Department of Works and Pensions to confirm benefit entitlement, something that is restricted for academies and often other organisations. We are accredited to the Customer Services Excellence (CSE) standard.
Benefits
- Evidence of which pupils are eligible to claim free school meals.
- Secure transfer and processing of data.
