Community Support

We are here to help our families and students.

At Blue Coat, our vision is to enable everyone to live life in all its fullness. As a school community rooted in care, respect and service, we are committed to supporting those facing challenges and ensuring that every family is able to flourish.

Through donations of food, uniform and other essential items, we can work together to make a practical difference, offering hope, dignity and support to those who need it most.

Your child may qualify for Free School Meals if you receive benefits such as Universal Credit, Income Support or Jobseeker’s Allowance.

Applying could save your family over £400 per year. Eligible children may also help the school receive additional funding to support students.
