Half-Term Free School Meals Food
Important Information for parents of children entitled to free schools meals
Medway Council have just announced the following arrangements:
Medway Citizen’s Advice Bureau (CAB) is working with Medway Council to provide food during the half-term period for the parents of children entitled to free schools meals.
The scheme will comprise food or vouchers. CAB staff and volunteers will check for allergies and will try to have a healthy balance within the budget for each child. The scheme will be from Monday to Friday (26 October to 30 October) and will consist of a lunch or vouchers. The lunch packages might contain cereal too, if possible.
Eligible parents should contact Medway CAB by email - schoolmeals@medwayadvice.org.uk or phone - 01634 383760. Parents should have available a certificate of eligibility, which they should provide to the CAB staff member or volunteer at the food / voucher collection centre or at their door if the food or vouchers are delivered to then. However, we are aware that some parents won’t have this to hand, so CAB will accept evidence of:
· Income Support
· income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
· income-related Employment and Support Allowance
· support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
· the guaranteed element of Pension Credit
· Child Tax Credit

We would like to share with you the thoughts of some of our parents
“I am so glad I chose St Peter’s for my little girl. As a 30th August baby, I was nervous about how she would settle but we had no problems and she is doing so well. It is such a nurturing place and feels like a village school in the middle of town! Even the head and deputy head knew her name within the first week, greeting us even now at the gates every day come rain or shine, and I feel so comfortable leaving her knowing she is so at home and cared for. She has loved her time there so far and is excited every day for what they have planned for her next. I have no doubt that this is the best start to her education that she could have had. Thank you St Peter’s!” (BH)
“St Peters is a fantastic school. It’s small and intimate and has some of the loveliest teachers. My daughter is thriving and I couldn’t recommend St Peters enough. My daughter loves going to St Peters every day.” (JH)
"St. Peters is a real gem! It’s a caring, nurturing environment with the loveliest of staff/teachers, who give so much attention to all the children.
I was a nervous for my 4yr old bilingual daughter, starting school last year, but from the first days I realised that she is in the best possible hands! Year 1, now, she is thriving and simply adores her school!" (MM)

About St Peter's Infants School
St Peter’s is a very friendly, supportive and nurturing school, where all members of the school community work as a team to make the time that the children spend with us positive and remembered fondly. We have high expectations for the children in our care, not only for academic success but in all aspects of their personal achievement. We firmly believe that children learn best and are most positive about their school experiences when they have high self-esteem, self worth and respect for others.
We aim to nurture the whole child and encourage them to work to the best of their ability in all aspects of school life - academically, socially and emotionally - thus equipping them to be valuable citizens of the future. St Peter’s aims to provide a broad, high quality education that helps the children develop into independent young people, able to apply their skills and knowledge to whatever lies ahead. We aim to develop in our children an enthusiasm for learning and positive attitudes that will enhance their self-esteem and that they will carry on with them into adulthood.
St. Peter’s has a strong philosophy of team work that is extended out to home. We seek to foster a strong home/school partnership that helps to build upon and consolidate the unique set of experiences that your child will bring to school.
We trust that you will find the information you require on our website and more.
