Eligibilty

How do I know if my child is eligible to attend a Craft Session?

Frequently Asked Questions

My child is in Reception or KS1 and gets free school meals – does this count?
No, this is the Universal Infant Free School Meal offer that all children in these year groups receive – this type of free school meal does not make children eligible. You may be eligible if you meet any of the criteria outlined here. If you believe that you do meet the criteria, please apply for free school meals, as this could further support your child in school, and will ensure you receive your code.

My child is Electively Home Educated (EHE) and we would meet the criteria; how can I obtain a code?
The EHE Team at Hertfordshire County Council have a list of families whom they believe to be eligible and will write to them. If you do not receive an email, please contact haf@herts.ac.uk so that we can pass your details on.

I am on a low income, but not low enough for my children to receive free school meals – are they eligible?
Under certain circumstances, and where existing family support is in place, we may have the opportunity to support vulnerable children from low income families. If you feel that you fit this criteria, the professional who is supporting your family will need to contact us. This can be a Family Support Worker, SENCo, social worker, teacher etc.
