School meals
Wirral’s secondary schools have cafeterias providing school meals with a wide variety of choice. It is the governors’ responsibility to provide free and paid-for meals facilities and to meet nutritional standards. These ensure that children are provided with a healthy, balanced diet.
Free school meals are available if the parent or guardian is in receipt of:
- Universal Credit
- Income Related Employment and Support Allowance
- Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999; or
- the Guaranteed Element of Pension Credit.
To claim free school meals contact your child’s school to sign up to the free online system.
School clothes
Children are expected to dress neatly for school. Secondary age children do not need to wear a school uniform, but many schools ask children to wear a type or colour of clothing that is associated with the school. However, as the Local Authority does not ask for this, Wirral Council does not provide a grant towards buying school clothing. Some schools will offer free or low cost uniform items. Wirral F.U.S.S distribute free good quality recycled uniforms.
