We want to ensure that every student at Riddlesdown Collegiate has access to a nutritious, healthy meal every day to support their learning and well-being. If your family is receiving certain benefits, your child may be eligible for Free School Meals.

Please note that even if your child received free school meals at primary school, you will still need to reapply for them when they join us at Riddlesdown Collegiate.

Applying is quick and entirely confidential. We use an on-line checking service to apply for free school meals.

Please apply for Free School Meals to confirm your eligibility.

You will need to complete a separate form for each child, but the system does remember your details which should help speed up the process.
