    Free School Meals and Uniform/Physical Education Allowances for School Year 2024/25

    By Alison Stronge | Latest News | Comments are Closed | 20 June, 2024 | 0

    Please see below the most recent update from EA

    The online application process via EA Connect is now open so all parents/carers should therefore be encouraged to apply on EA Connect before 26 July to ensure arrangements are in place for the new school year beginning in September 2024. Timely applications will also help staff and schools as we work towards the Census date of 11 October 2024.

    Special Diet
    In previous years, parents/carers whose child had a Statement of Special Educational Needs (Stage 3) and required a special diet and who did not qualify for Free School Meals under the standard financial eligibility criteria, were required to apply for Free School Meals via a paper application form.
    The EA Free School Meals service also required medical evidence from a medical professional that a special diet was required.
    We have listened to the feedback received from parents/carers, medical professionals and schools in relation to the difficulties around this process and for the 2024/25 school year, parents/carers can now apply for support online via the EA Connect portal where they will be directed to the relevant online application for Free School Meals under the Special Diet criterion.
    This applies to both new and existing claimants. Evidence of a medically required special diet provided by a medical professional is no longer required, however, parents/carers are required to make a declaration to confirm under which medical requirement a special diet is required.

    Free School Meals / Uniform Allowance Helpdesk
    The Free Schools Meals and Uniform Allowance Helpdesk is available to assist parents and guardians who may have any queries. The Helpdesk operates Monday – Friday from 9am to 4pm and can be contacted via email:mealsanduniform@eani.org.uk.

    The telephone number for all enquiries is 028 9041 8044. Please be aware that this number receives a high volume of queries during peak periods.
    Further information including eligibility criteria for the 2024/25 school year and a list of Frequently Asked Questions to assist with any parental queries can be accessed by visiting our website.

    Ruth Fannin
    Year I left ERGS: 2019

    A” Level subjects studied: Technology and Design, Mathematics and Business Studies (Spanish at AS Level)

    Pathway after school: Started university in September 2019 whilst working part-time in my family business as Assistant Shop Manager

    University attended: Queen’s University Belfast

    Course studied: Business Management with Placement (4 years)

    I started at Queen’s University Belfast in September 2019 and enjoyed a few months of a “normal” university experience before COVID-19 brought a sudden shift to online learning in March 2020.

    During my time at university, I was awarded Top Business Management Student (2019/2020) and Top Student for History and Philosophy. I also completed the Degree Plus Award for Future Ready Skills in Management before graduating in 2023 with a First Class Honours degree.

    After graduating, I was approached on LinkedIn about an opportunity that led to me joining the Oil Market Journal (OMJ) as Business Development Manager in Enniskillen in September 2023.

    Although I have always lived at home in County Tyrone, I am very grateful for the opportunities I have had to travel with work, including visits to Dubai, Spain, Italy, Poland and Germany, as well as across the UK and Ireland.

    Outside of work, I help out in my family business and volunteer both as a Girlguiding leader and as a youth club leader within my church. Through Girlguiding, I have also enjoyed incredible experiences, including spending a week as part of the crew on a Tall Ships yacht and, more recently, completing the Queen’s Guide Award — the highest award available within Girlguiding UK.

    I am very grateful to both the Collegiate and Enniskillen Royal Grammar School for providing me with such a strong foundation and for encouraging the values of hard work, resilience and determination from an early age.

    Year I left: 2020

    Subjects: Geography, Biology and English Literature

    As part of the first full GCSE cohort of the school, I left ERGS on a random day in March 2020. Our formal was cancelled and we all expected to be back after a couple of weeks — but we all know what happened next.

    I knew the COVID-19 pandemic was going to ruin the typical “freshers” experience, so I deferred my place at Newcastle University to work in my local SPAR for a year. I was sad seeing all my friends leave, but I built up money and work experience that helped open doors for me in the future.

    I’d recommend Newcastle to any student. I made some amazing memories and left with a First Class BSc in Environmental Science with Placement, along with an award for the best dissertation in my year.

    My placement year was spent as an Assistant Geo-Environmental Consultant at Tetra Tech in Belfast. I worked on some really big projects, including the GeoEnergyNI demonstrator project - the first large-scale geothermal investigation of Northern Ireland.

    I am currently studying a Master’s Degree in Forestry for Green Sustainable Development at Linnaeus University in Sweden. There are no tuition fees in Sweden for EU citizens or those with an Irish passport, so I think this is a pathway that should be promoted more often. I really love it over here and everything is taught in English, so don’t worry if your Swedish isn’t up to scratch!

    Thank you to Mr Beddard for shouting at me to fix my deforestation homework. It turns out I’m quite good at talking about trees after all!
