Covid-19 - Free School Meals Scam Warning 25 March 2020
Please note that the Department of Education has sent out the following warning regarding Free School Meals:
Be aware of scam emails
We have been informed that some parents have received an email stating the following: ‘As schools will be closing, if you’re entitled to free school meals, please send your bank details and we’ll make sure you’re supported’.
We can confirm that this is a scam email and is not official. We urge parents that if you receive any emails like this, please do not respond, and delete it immediately.
Under no circumstances will The MJS ask you for bank details.
Update 25th March 2020
MJS will remain open for children of Key Workers and vulnerable children. Online work/ packs will be available for all year groups. We will look at how we can provide support for these students over the Easter holidays.
We are working frantically to provide vouchers for those children on Free School Meals. Please ignore any emails, or any other communication, unless it is from school, regarding Free School Meals as there are scam emails being sent.
