Dear Parents and Carers,

I hope you have had a good week.

We are very much looking forward to our Winter Showcase on Wednesday 3rd December. This annual celebration is always a highlight of the school calendar, offering an excellent evening of dance and music that truly showcases the incredible talent of our students. Last year’s event was a brilliant success, and this year promises to be even better.

I am extremely sad that I will not be able to attend the showcase this year, as that evening I will be representing KAR at the National Schools Awards in the House of Lords. The King’s Group Academies have been nominated for the prestigious MAT of the Year Award - a recognition of the positive impact our Trust’s schools have on pupils and communities across the country. The shortlisting places KGA alongside some of the strongest and most respected trusts nationally, with the winner announced at the ceremony. It is an honour to be part of such an important moment for our Trust and a testament to the amazing children we have in our schools. Whilst always reflective on ways we can improve, it provides positive external validation that we are moving forward positively against a challenging national educational picture.

We currently have a vacancy for a Pastoral Officer, and we would be grateful if you could share this opportunity with anyone you feel may be interested in supporting the school and our students.

Last week, we were delighted to welcome colleagues from BHASVIC for the latest round of careers assemblies with our Year 10 and Year 11 students. These sessions play an important role in broadening students’ understanding of post-16 pathways and supporting them as they begin to plan their next steps.

Finally, a reminder that Friday 5th is an INSET Day. Only Year 11 students are required to attend, to ensure continuity for their upcoming GCSE exams and post-mock reflection.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support of our school community.

Best wishes,

Mr Harvey

Creative Writing Workshops

A group of students are working with best-selling children’s author Georgia Byng in a series of creative-writing workshops. Together, they are being guided through the process of developing compelling characters, inventive plot twists, and effective story structure. Through this collaborative approach, the students are bringing a short piece of writing to life.

A Healthy Sleep Guide for Parents

This week, Mr Weir delivered assemblies to KS3 on the importance of sleep. Here are the key points we shared with students – and how you can support good sleep at home.

Why Sleep Matters for Teenagers

During adolescence, young people need 8.5-10 hours of sleep each night, but most fall well below this.

Good sleep supports:

·  Better mood and emotional regulation

·  Sharper concentration and stronger memory

·  Higher academic performance

·  Improved physical health and immunity

·  More positive relationships and decision-making

The Teen “Body Clock Shift”

It’s normal for teenagers to feel sleepy 1–2 hours later than adults.

This is a natural biological change – not laziness.

5 Practical Ways to Support Healthy Sleep

1. Keep a consistent wake-up time

This stabilises their body clock, even on weekends.

2. Create a calm ‘wind-down’ window

Encourage 20–30 minutes of low-stimuli activities before bed (reading, shower, quiet music).

3. Reduce screen use before sleep

Phones and tablets delay melatonin release.

If possible: devices off or out of reach 30–60 minutes before bed.

4. Help them manage stress early in the evening

A quick chat about the next day, preparing bags, or writing a list can stop “overthinking” at night.

5. Keep their bedroom dark, cool, and quiet

A cooler room (around 17°C) and dim lighting help their brain switch into sleep mode.

But helpful routines can still make a big difference to when they fall asleep.

Our Message to Students

Sleep is a superpower that boosts learning, wellbeing and confidence.

Small, consistent habits make the biggest difference.

Important Calendar Update

Please be advised that, further to Trust-wide confirmation that all KGA schools will be bringing in Year 11 students during our INSET day on Friday 5 December, we are pleased to inform you that the school will now finish the academic year on the earlier date of Thursday 23 July 2025 at 12.20pm.

Children in Need

A huge thank you to everyone who supported Children in Need on Friday. Our school community once again came together to raise money for a truly important cause, and we are grateful for your generosity and enthusiasm.

Stunning U16 Rugby Debut for KAR Girls

We love to celebrate our students’ achievements both inside and outside school. Two of our Year 11 students, Lola and Maria, recently starred in a fantastic 42–5 win for the Lewes Rugby Club Lionesses, an incredible achievement given they joined the club less than two months ago.

Maria impressed with fearless tackling, while super-speedy Lola scored a try in her first ever competitive match! There was no gentle introduction either – the game was a full 15-a-side from the first whistle. We also want to recognise the brilliant support from KAR teammates Edith, Lucy and Grace for such an amazing debut performance. Congratulations to all of them; we are immensely proud.

Attendance Matters

Our whole-school attendance rose last week, and we thank you for your continued support at this crucial point in the term. We would like to remind families of the significant impact attendance has on learning: between 93% and 88% attendance, the chances of achieving five strong GCSEs (grades 9–5) are reduced by around 40%.

Our school minimum expectation is 96% attendance. The government classes children with attendance below 90% as persistently absent due to the severe effect this level of absence has on progress and outcomes. Your support in ensuring strong attendance is vital and very much appreciated.

Careers Education

This week we are pleased to welcome Plumpton College, who are delivering career assemblies to our Key Stage 4 students. These sessions form an important part of helping students explore future pathways and make informed decisions about their next steps.

Smartphone-Free Childhood Initiative

Last week, we met with local primary schools to discuss a shared local strategy on Smartphone-Free Childhood, advocating for the delay of smartphone ownership until age 14. It was a positive opportunity to discuss a coordinated community response to an increasingly important issue for young people’s wellbeing.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support.

Kind regards,

Mr Harvey

Principal

Dance Department

Last week, four of our Year 10 Dance students attended a three-day Dance Residency at Eastbourne College, led by the internationally acclaimed dance–circus company Motionhouse. The workshop gave students the unique opportunity to work alongside professional dancers, developing their performance, partnering, and lifting skills while exploring Motionhouse’s dynamic and physical style.

The week ended with a showcase performance on Friday afternoon, where our students performed a four-minute piece inspired by Motionhouse’s choreography. They worked extremely hard, showed fantastic commitment, and represented the school brilliantly.

Thank you, Miss Dyson – Teacher of Dance and Drama

Super Curriculum – Art Department

• 3D Art students

Our Super Curriculum 3D Art students have been busy creating some truly stunning paper lanterns over the past two weeks. Pupils from Years 7 to 9 designed, sketched, and built their beautiful creations using tracing paper, pens, tape, and recycled cheese boxes.

Each lantern was unique, full of detail and imagination, from scary Halloween themes to intricate dutch-style buildings, dark skies and fantastic landscapes, as well as some inventive abstract patterns. Their designs really came to life when we placed tealights inside and photographed them glowing softly in the darkroom. The room was filled with delighted “oohs” and “aahs” as students admired their illuminated artwork.

• Botanical Art students

Botanical Art Super Curriculum students have created a beautiful and meaningful Remembrance display of 'stained glass' style poppies, which can be seen in the window of our reception area.  Using paper, tissue and glue for the final outcomes, they worked carefully to cut the intricate patterns on some of these poignant designs.

Stunning U16 Rugby Debut for KAR Girls

We love to celebrate our students' achievements outside school as well as in school, and two of our Year 11 students starred in a winning 42-5 girls rugby match last Sunday, having only joined Lewes Rugby Club Lionesses less than 2 months ago. Lola and Maria really shone, with Maria putting in some fearless tackles and super-speedy Lola scoring a try in her first ever competitive game!  There was no easing them in, it was full-on 15-a-side from the start, and KAR teammates Edith, Lucy and Grace gave great support on such amazing debuts.

Well done girls

Dear Parents and Carers,

It’s been another fantastic week at Ringmer, full of energy, community spirit, and achievement across the school.

Earlier this week, we had our whole school photo, what a wonderful occasion! Every year group was involved, and it was great to see such a sense of pride and unity across our school community. The photography team commented on how fantastic our students were throughout, a real credit to you and to Ringmer.

Today, we’re also proud to be marking Show Racism the Red Card Day. It’s been inspiring to see so many students and staff wearing something red as a symbolic act of solidarity against racism. This initiative encourages education, awareness and positive action. You can find out more about the campaign here: https://www.theredcard.org/

We’re also looking forward to our Just Dance House Event this afternoon, a brilliant opportunity for students to have fun, be active and enjoy some friendly house competition. It promises to be a lively and joyful end to a busy half term!

Some of our Year 7 and 8 students were lucky enough to take part in a special Open Doors careers visit to the Brighton & Hove Albion Amex Stadium. The event, run by the East Sussex Careers Hub as part of their Open Doors Programme and hosted by the Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation, gave our students an inspiring behind the scenes look at professional sport. They explored the director’s box, VIP areas, changing rooms and players’ tunnel before taking part in activities focused on career aspirations, employability skills and the many pathways within the sporting industry. It was a fantastic experience, and our students represented Ringmer beautifully throughout the day.

We also recently celebrated our Senior Student Tie Giving Ceremony to recognise and congratulate our new school student leaders. They showed confidence, courage and commitment, and we are extremely proud of each of them. Our senior students have already supported the school through events such as the Year 6 Transition Day, House competitions, Open Evening and Progress Evenings, where they demonstrated real responsibility and leadership. At Ringmer, we value not only what our students achieve, but also who they are becoming as individuals, and we are confident these young leaders will continue to be ‘world-ready’ as they move forward in their studies, careers and communities.

Our Year 11 students have completed the first week of their mock exams with real determination and maturity. Their focus and attitude have been exemplary - well done to all of them as they head into the second week.

This week, I also had the opportunity to attend the East Sussex 11–19 Heads meeting, where we discussed the challenges and opportunities facing schools locally and across the county. It was affirming to hear such positive feedback about Ringmer, our students and the reputation of our school continue to be recognised locally for all the right reasons.

Finally, a big thank you to all parents and carers for your ongoing support with attendance. We’ve seen a noticeable rise over the past few weeks, which is a fantastic way to finish the half term. Consistent attendance makes such a difference to learning and wellbeing, and your partnership is truly appreciated.

Wishing all our students, families and staff a wonderful two-week half term break. We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready for another exciting term ahead.

Best wishes,

Chris Harvey

Senior Student Tie Giving Ceremony

On 2 October 2025, our Senior Students had their Senior Student Tie Giving Ceremony to celebrate and congratulate their achievement of becoming a school student leader. 

Mr Harvey and I were so impressed with their interviews - they showed confidence, courage and competitiveness when presenting and as a result, we are extremely proud of them. 

Students have already supported the school in events such as year 6 transition day, house competitions, open evening and progress evenings where they showed responsibility and were role models for younger students in the school. 

At KAR, we don't just care about what you achieve but who you are as a person. As we look ahead into the future, I have no doubt that you will all become "world-ready" and continue to lead in your studies, in your careers and in your communities. 

Mrs Avery, Head of KS4

Design Technology Department – Year 10s

The Year 10's have been successful in completing their stools this term. They have built resilience in using new tools such as the table top router, handheld router, and jigsaw to build on their workshop skills and prepare them for more advanced making in year 11. Lots of very proud students this week! 

Mrs R. Hepburn Imber, Design & Technology Lead Teacher, Head of House System

Open Doors Visit to Brighton and Hove Amex Stadium

Some of our students from year 7 and 8 were treated to a very special careers visit to The Amex Stadium.

The event is run by The East Sussex Careers Hub and is part of their Open Doors Programme. The day was hosted by The Brighton & Hove Albion Foundation, who are the official charity of Brighton & Hove Albion. They use the power of football to engage and inspire young people to change their lives and help them to get active, learn new skills and improve their wellbeing.

Our students were treated to a very exclusive behind the scenes tour including the director’s box, VIP areas, changing rooms and the tunnel. The students then took part in a range of fun activities to get them thinking about career aspirations, develop key employability skills and learn about the jobs roles and pathways within professional sports. 

Super Curriculum Ceramics & Clay Work

Students have been developing their clay-handling skills, focusing on ceramics and glazes along Autumn and Halloween themes. They created a variety of pieces, including spooky pumpkins, scary ghosts, realistically-coloured leaf-prints, and creatively sculpted hanging decorations. This project not only allowed them to explore texture and form but also encouraged imaginative thinking and personal expression. The use of glaze techniques added vibrant finishes, bringing their seasonally-inspired creations to life.

Varndean Sixth Form College – Open Evening on Thursday 6 November 2025 from 4pm to 8pm

Dear Parents and Carers,

We have had a very positive and productive week in school, and I wanted to share some of our highlights with you.

Our Open Mornings have now been completed, with our tour guides doing an exceptional job of welcoming visitors and showcasing our school in action. Thank you to everyone involved in making this such a success, our students really shone. Our visitors pointed out on numerous occasions how ‘our children had a confidence about them’, were ‘polite and engaging’, and ‘seemed to really like being here’. Well done to the large number of Year 7, 8 and 9 students who took part.

Next week, we are looking forward to a very special occasion with our Tie Giving Ceremony for senior students. This is always a proud moment in the school calendar, and we are excited to mark this milestone with them.

This week also saw our Post-16 Options Event, where we were delighted to welcome a number of colleges and learning providers to speak face to face with our students, parents, and carers. The event was very well attended by both Year 11 and Year 10 students, and our exhibitors were kept busy with lots of questions. They commented on how engaged and thoughtful our students were, which was wonderful to hear.

I would also like to thank you for your ongoing support regarding attendance. This is a key point in the term, with students retaining and understanding their learning more effectively simply because they are in lessons more. Every day in school is an investment in their future, and we are very proud of their commitment and determination.

It has also been fantastic to see so many Character Cards awarded for acts of Honesty, Faith, and Courage, and many Merits for active participation in class. These daily recognitions reflect the values we want to see embedded in our school community.

Finally, this week Mr Burchett, Vice Principal, delivered an important assembly to our students entitled ’Disagreeing Agreeably: Democracy and Forgiveness’. The assembly explored themes of tolerance, listening, and forgiveness in the context of both our everyday lives and the wider world.

Why this assembly matters

We live in a world where division is amplified, particularly online. Social media often traps us in ‘echo chambers’, showing us only voices we already agree with. This can make it harder to listen respectfully to different perspectives and easier to fall into conflict. The assembly emphasised that democracy relies on tolerance, compromise, and forgiveness, not anger or hate.

Students were shown how holding on to resentment can harm both individuals and societies. They heard the powerful story of Eric Lomax, a British prisoner of war who, after enduring great suffering, chose to forgive one of his former interrogators. His example illustrates how forgiveness can free us from bitterness and open the door to healing.

This assembly reflects our school values of Honesty, Faith, and Courage, and our vision of Opportunity and Success on a global stage. It responds directly to the challenges young people face in today’s digital world, encouraging them to develop resilience, compassion, and the ability to listen respectfully to others.

The key message for students was clear:

• Democracy requires listening to different views without hate.

• Forgiveness and tolerance make compromise possible.

• These qualities are essential not only in school but in building a kinder and more peaceful world.

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students grow into thoughtful, compassionate global citizens.

Best wishes,

Mr Harvey

Food Technology Department – Hunter’s Chicken

Y10 have been working very hard this week with trial cooking for their GCSE course.

They all made an excellent start with creative cooking and lovely presentations.

Well done to all students.

Dance Department

Four of our Year 11 students were invited to Eastbourne College to take part in a Rambert Dance workshop. During the session, they worked with a professional practitioner to learn new movement materials in preparation for their GCSE exam.

The students embraced the experience with maturity and enthusiasm, not only developing their technical and performance skills but also building new friendships with students from other schools. The workshop leader praised them for being one of the most positive groups this year, noting how fully they engaged with the activities and collaborated with others.

It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to extend their learning beyond the classroom and gain an insight into the professional dance world". 

Thank you, Miss Dyson, Teacher of Dance and Drama

Dear Parents and Carers, 

I hope you have had a great week.

The centre of this week has been Open Evening. What a great event! We believe that we had record numbers in attendance. Our visitors were exceptionally positive about the school, and our student tour guides received amazing praise. We had around 85 students from Years 7-11 supporting the school on the evening. Our visitors commented on their politeness, smartness, courtesy and confidence on the tours. They came up to me time and time again to tell me how wonderful our children were. A big thank you to all the students who helped on the evening, including over thirty Year 7’s in just their first week of school! We do this job for the children, and it was fantastic to hear so many positive comments about the positive reputation KAR has in our community given the brilliant students we have in this school. We are very ‘Proud to be Ringmer’. We continue next week with Open Mornings every day, welcoming visitors into our school and touring them via our student helpers.

We were excited to begin our Super Curriculum courses this week. For a school our size, this is a logistical challenge each term, but we are committed to giving children chances to develop their skills and interests in our quest to develop them into well-rounded characters. My walk around on a Wednesday afternoon is a highlight of the week, and a consistent validation that students value the opportunity to do something outside their academic studies. In addition to activities such as non-contact boxing, ceramics, coding and forestry, we were delighted to begin using the pool for the first time, with an excited first group in swimming lessons! In addition, I briefly had a go at one of our new activities, skateboarding, which I will need more practice on! A big thank you to all staff who support these activities, giving our students opportunities they may not otherwise have had.

At Key Stage 4, we have been really impressed with the focus and motivation with which students have started their GCSE courses. Every day is vital in the run-up to their exams. A reminder that next Monday we have our first ‘Route to Success’ evening for Year 11, so we look forward to welcoming parents and carers to the school.

A big thank you for supporting us in ensuring students get to school, as our attendance has started very strongly this year. A reminder that anything below 96% significantly reduces a student's chances of success at GCSE, and together we must do everything possible to get students into school. Even if they are feeling a little low in the morning, often once they are here the majority of students have excellent, productive days. You may have seen that school attendance has again made national news, with the data identifying that more than 50% of pupils who missed some of the first few weeks of school went on to become "persistently absent" in 2024, compared with just 14% of pupils who fully attended the first few weeks. Even at this early stage of term, a day off or more can negatively impact the rest of the year. We are happy to support you in whichever way we can to ensure that students begin the year on a positive routine.

Have a great weekend

Best wishes,
Mr Harvey

King’s Academy Ringmer - Vegetable Harvest September 2025

Year 8’s spent some time in the green house harvesting a load of vegetables. Some of these students had planted the seeds earlier in the year. They enjoyed the reward of eating the fruits of their labour! Some of them had set up a competition to see who could grow the longest cucumber – it was a close finish. The monster crop from our post-summer holiday haul had to be a huge butternut squash that weighed in at almost 2 and a half kilos! 

Students enjoyed cutting up and cooking our home-grown vegetables in Super curriculum at the end of the summer term. We enjoyed ‘Daisy beans’–boiled beans mixed with pesto and feta cheese, and vegetable stir-fry with basmati rice. All cooked in the greenhouse on a camping stove. Delicious!

Please follow this link to read more about these exciting events in Barcombe on 13 September, Lewes on 20 September, Hassocks and Ditchling on 27 September and at Rodmell on 27 September - https://ovesco.co.uk/event/eco-open-houses-gardens-2025/ 

Dear parents and carers,

I hope you have had a great week. 

We have had a busy and productive return to school after enrichment week. Our year 7 and 8 students had the opportunity to engage in careers morning, a total of 18 external speakers discussing job opportunities from different sectors. A great event organised by Ms Colbourne.

I am also delighted to announce that King's Academy Ringmer's submission for the Intermediate Level International School's Award has been successful and approved by The British Council regarding our work on the global-facing aspects of our work at KAR. The International School Award celebrates the achievements of schools that do exceptional work in international education. Fostering an international dimension in the curriculum is at the heart of the British Council’s work with schools so that young people gain the cultural understanding and skills they need for life and work in today’s world. They have given glowing feedback on our work in embedding global citizenship in a rural setting, and our partnerships with schools in China, Spain and France. Full communication will follow, but a huge thank you to Ms Taylor, who has led these activities.

Given the ongoing hot temperatures, next week will remain as PE kits from Monday to Wednesday if students would prefer to wear these. After the recent student voice, we have also agreed a non-uniform day on the final day (Thursday).

I will be in touch next week with detailed communication regarding useful dates and information for the start of next year and beyond.

Have a great weekend

Best wishes,

Mr Harvey

Year 10 Work Experience 

We were incredibly proud of our Year 10 students who took part in their Work Experience last week.  They explored potential career paths, built their confidence, and gained a valuable understanding of workplace culture.  The feedback from employers was excellent, with many praising the students for their enthusiasm, professionalism, and eagerness to learn.

Well done to all involved — you represented the school brilliantly and learnt some valuable skills to take forward into year 11.

Mrs Colbourne 

Careers Morning 

Our Year 7 and Year 8 students took part in our career morning this week. We had eighteen speakers from a variety of job roles speaking about their careers. The goal of this event was to spark conversations amongst the students about different career paths and career journeys. We wanted them to understand what various jobs involve and, most importantly, to feel inspired and excited about the career choices that lie ahead.

We had speakers from a range of careers such as the Fire Services, NHS, Journalism, Archaeologists, Civil Engineer, Radiotherapy Engineer, Director of an innovation agency, Personal trainer / boxing coach, Tax associate Director, Contract Manager in social care, Green Careers, Vet, Graphic Designer, TV, Associate Director of Temple, Publisher, Mental Health Therapist.

We were all very proud of our students for the way they conducted themselves throughout the event, asking questions and engaging in conversations to learn more about different careers directly from those experienced in those fields. 

DT Department – Year 7

Year 7 are coming to the end of their first year in Design & Technology and Mrs Hepburn wants to say a huge well done on all their hard work and their safe behaviour in the workshop. Beautiful acrylic jewellery has been taken home and well-crafted Memphis style clocks.  Mrs Hepburn looks forward to teaching them again in year 8.

DT Department – Year 8

Wow! Year 8 have truly outdone themselves this year. Some beautifully designed Art Nouveau LED lights have gone home and superb herb racks. Mrs Hepburn is amazed at the high-quality outcomes leaving the workshop - what a talented bunch. Bring on year 9!

DT Department – Year 9

For some of the year 9’s it is the end of their Design & Technology journey, and they have gone out with some real showstoppers! Mrs Hepburn is sad to not be teaching all of them again but is thrilled by the huge uptake in those who have chosen the subject for their GCSE, and is very excited to see them shine even brighter over the next two years ahead. 

The last project of year 9 was the mechanical toys and they are by far the best Mrs Hepburn has seen in her teaching years so far. Well done year 9, be proud of all that you’ve accomplished. 

DT Department – Super Curriculum

The final group of Textiles Super curriculum have created some real show-stoppers this term. Good enough to eat, you may say. Mrs Hepburn, hopes you have enjoyed your time learning sewing skills! 

RE Department

On Monday 14th July, Year 10 students visited the Buddhist Brighton Centre as part of their GCSE study of Buddhism.  They took part in meditation, a shrine quiz and reflected on the daily practices of the Brighton Buddhist community.  Our students were excellent role models and represented Ringmer well in our local area.  

If you are interested in visiting the centre, they have an open day on Saturday 13th September.

Change News

For the first time, Kings Academy entered the Ringmer Show at the weekend. We entered art, baking, horticulture and produce classes. We were very pleased with our results as we got placed in many of the classes and one of our students came home with a trophy for her baking.

We were particularly happy with the success of our vase of flowers. All the flowers were picked by a student on Friday from the school grounds and this display won the class. Second place for beans and carrots grown in school! The organisers were very impressed with the standard of the entries and are looking forward to collaborating with us in the future. Many students have been involved in our growing projects and this is a collaboration of sowing and propagating seeds, looking after the plants and enjoying picking the produce.

Involving our students in community events such as this has many benefits, including a sense of fulfilment, purpose, achievement and pride. 

Perfect Pet competition

Winners of our Perfect Pet Competition are as follows:

• Layla Yarrow - Year 8 - Best Cat 

• Jayden McKie - Year 10 - Best Dog  

• Maria Mackenzie - Best small animal 

We are just waiting to hear what the total funds raised for the Raystede charity are from this lovely competition.  Really well done to the winners and to everyone who took part.

Mrs Simmons, Subject Leader for RE

Free School Meals - Changes from April 1st 2025

Please see below updated information received from East Sussex County Council with regard to free school meal changes.
We are writing to update you on some recent changes the Department for Education (DfE) have made to their plans around Free School Meals and transitional protection rules.

• Transitional protection rules will apply at the end of the 2025/26 academic year.

• From the start of the 2026/27 academic year, transitional protections will end for all year groups. From this point, claimants must meet the eligibility criteria to be entitled to free school meals.

• From September 2026 the DfE intends to extend free school meals to all children in households in receipt of Universal Credit.

This is a significant change to the information previously given to parents.

There will now be no review of Year 6 and Year 11 pupils in receipt of FSM at the end of this term or termly reviews of newly entitled students. Year 6 pupils who are entitled to free school meals will remain entitled in Year 7. Year 11’s will be removed from our system and parents/carers will need to reapply as their sixth form destination is not known to our service. 

When the transitional protection rules end in July 2026, all entitled children will have their entitlement reviewed, not just those at the end of a phase of education (Years 6 and 11). FSM entitled children will then have their entitlement reviewed each year and will be removed from your FSM entitlement list if they no longer meet the criteria.

Please see below information on how to apply for Free School Meals 

Do you qualify for Free School Meals?

To make applications easier for parents/carers we have changed the way that you can apply for free school meals. Applications are now processed online via East Sussex County Council, the criteria for being able to apply and for the online application please see the details below.

Free school meals for children in Year 3 and older

Older children may get free school meals if their parents or carers get any of these benefits:

• Universal Credit - GOV.UK – if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

• Income Support - GOV.UK

• Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) - GOV.UK

• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) - GOV.UK

• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 - GOV.UK

• The Guaranteed element of State Pension Credit -GOV.UK

• Child Tax Credit - GOV.UK, only, if your annual household income (assessed by HM Revenue & Customs) isn’t over £16,190

[Anyone who gets Working Tax Credit - GOV.UK, won’t get free meals regardless of income]

• Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit

Children will get free school meals if they meet the criteria and are in school both before and after lunchtime.

Children eligible for free school meals on or after 1 April 2018 will remain eligible until they finish the phase of schooling (primary or secondary) they’re in on 31 March 2025 even if your circumstances change.

• Apply for free school meals online

Our Electronic Checking Service might be able to confirm entitlement. If not, you’ll need to show recent proof that you qualify. Meals cannot be given until eligibility is verified.

Apply online if your child goes to school in East Sussex.
