--- title: "Financial Support" url: "https://www.monkton.kent.sch.uk/school-life/mindful-monkton/financial-support" school: "Monkton Church of England Primary School" --- # Financial Support With continued rising living costs, we endeavour to support our families in need as much as possible. Please take a look at the options below that may help. **Free School Meals** If you are in receipt of Universal Credit, your child may be eligible for **Free School Meals** (FSM). As well as offering free cooked lunches at school, FSM status provides additional benefits such as activity vouchers during school holidays and contributions towards energy costs. We may assist with costs towards trips and activities if required. If you have previously been deemed not eligible for FSM but your financial circumstances have since changed, it is worth re-checking to see if your child's FSM status has changed. To see if you are eligible for FSM apply online **[here](https://fsm.lgfl.net/)**, or contact the school office for assistance. **School Uniform** Our school uniform provider is Kent Workwear. Pre-loved and logo uniform is available from the school. Please email to check what uniform is currently available. **Thanet Food Link** Thanet Food Link has been running since April 2013.
