South West Herts Partnership

As a school, we work in partnership with the South West Herts Partnership (SWHP). This includes having access to a family support worker. 

Please see the document below which gives a list that SWHP has collated a list of local courses that are being run to support parents. 

Also available below are Tips and Advice from the Partnership

Free School Meals

From September 2026, anyone in receipt of Universal Credit will be entitled to Free School Meals, regardless of their income level. 

If your child is in Years Reception to Year 2, an application should be made through the Hertfordshire County Council website. 

If your child is in Years 3-6, your eligibility can be checked directly by the school's finance team. You will need to provide your National Insurance number or Home Office number. 

Please note that also from September 2026, the transitional protection will cease and you may no longer be able to claim for free school meals if your circumstances have changed. Going forward, your entitlement will need to be reviewed each year.
