  • BEWARE OF THE FREE SCHOOL MEALS EMAIL SCAM



    We have been asked by the DfE to share the following with parents:


    We have been informed that some parents have received an email stating the following: ‘As schools will be closing, if you’re entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we’ll make sure you’re supported’.

    We can confirm that this is a scam email and is not official. We urge parents that if you receive any emails like this, please do not respond, and delete it immediately.
