ATTIGO ACADEMY TRUST
Information, Donating and Criteria to Access the Hardship Fund Scheme
During the coronavirus crisis we have responded by sourcing food for families through charities, the school food bank and food parcels. We recognise this is challenging to maintain during school holidays and when families are in crisis.
With the approval of The Trustees we have set up a hardship fund which will support families with food vouchers. Food vouchers can provide immediate support therefore giving us time to put families in contact with local food banks, Enfield stands together, local charities and benefits such as free school meals.
In addition, we want to be able to offer some families clothing vouchers for school uniform suppliers, for those pupils moving on to secondary school if their income is under £15,400 per annum.
Some families struggle to purchase secondary school uniform so we can help with some of the costs through this fund. School uniform should not be a barrier to pupils attending school.
The vouchers will be provided with a guide on how to access longer term support supplemented by conversations with families through the school pastoral team/parent support advisors.
It will be a requirement that vouchers are allocated where this has been agreed by two members of the Senior Leadership teams from the school.
If you feel you are eligible, please contact your school directly.
