00:07 Even though all children from nursery to year four are entitled to free school meals at the moment,
00:11 it's still important for the parents to sign up if they're eligible for it.
00:15 And it's important for them to sign up for the Essentials Grant because in the long run,
00:20 this will help your children and it will help the school.
00:23 You can use this grant for anything, for purchasing equipment, music lessons, school uniform, all these costs add up.
00:29 If you've got some parents that have two or three children in the school, that grant will help towards that.
00:34 Maybe if you're asking them to play for any sports teams, you know, they might need football boots or rugby boots.
00:40 You want every child to be treated the same and you want every child to have the same experiences.
00:46 These grants do help so that all children have the same experience and not just those children that can afford it.

00:56 The best resource that we can provide the children is staff and we do use the grants then to fund and support staff
01:02 just to give them that extra support that they need to succeed.
01:05 That money is there for them. They need to make the most of the opportunity and take it.
01:09 If anybody is hesitant, there's information online on your county's website.
01:13 However, just call into your local school, speak to the staff. They'll be more than willing to help you.
01:18 Ah! I can't think!
