Keyworker & vulnerable pupil provision form, FSM, other financial support for parents, Flu Clinics for Children & other information

Key worker and vulnerable pupil provision.

If you qualify for and need the keyworker provision, as you have no alternative childcare when you are at work as a keyworker, please complete the form below and return to school the day before you need the provision to start. Vulnerable pupils are pupils with a social worker and those with EHCP plans.

Please note that any pupils attending the keyworker or vulnerable pupil scheme must adhere to lockdown restrictions when in and out of school.  Those accepted onto the provision will be supervised by a staff member, to complete their remote learning on the online sites and be expected to fully socially distance to keep all staff and pupils attending safe.

FSM pupils

For the next four weeks, until half-term an Edenred FSM food voucher will be delivered to your e-mail.  It will be for four weeks and you will need to redeem it, as you did during the first lockdown.  It may take up to a week from 21st January to be delivered to your e-mail and it can often land in junk mail, so check there.  For half-term week Durham County Council’s winter voucher will be delivered to you, again by e-mail.

If any parents/carers have had a change to their financial situation and feel they may be able to apply for free school meals support, contact school with your name of the applicant (adult) and your national insurance number for school to complete a check.

Other financial support

1. Vodaphone sim cards – school has free vodaphone sim cards which can be used to support with phone usage.  Contact school if you would like one.
