Objectives of the service
The Pupil Benefits Team will:
- process electronic applications in respect of Free School Meals and/or School Clothing Allowance

Cost for Academies
The cost for the Pupil Benefits Team to deliver this service is based on the pupil head count from the January census (it is not based on numbers receiving free school meals) at £6.00 per pupil plus VAT
Academies will need to issue their own invoices to families, Pupil Benefits do not provide this service.
Nottingham City Council is not able to assist with or fund School Clothing Allowance for pupils attending Academies.
