5th May 2026
RMBC have taken the decision to discontinue Free School Meal (FSM) Vouchers.
The Council has agreed that the existing FSM vouchers scheme will cease at the end of the Easter 2026 holiday period. FSM vouchers will not be routinely provided during term-time holidays in 2026/27, including the May half-term.
This position reflects national guidance accompanying the Government’s new Crisis and Resilience Fund (CRF), which states that the blanket provision of vouchers/payments to families with children on free school meals is not necessarily the most effective way of supporting families in crisis, as some free school meal eligible families may not routinely need crisis support during every school holiday.
Instead, to continue supporting families with FSM children in 2026/27, the Council will provide a one‑off payment of £95 for eligible families during the summer holidays. For future years, consideration will be given as to how targeted support for families with children could be provided.

We have had some amazing feedback recently which we would like to share with you.
After a recent Health & Safety Inspection:
To note, overall Panel Members were complimentary regarding the health, safety and welfare provision at this facility, and the knowledge, passion and commitment staff demonstrated throughout the visit. There were a great number of examples of a positive health and safety culture not individually noted in this report, but should be recognised, nevertheless.

After a recent NOCN Inspection:
"The centre continues to demonstrate full compliance with the NOCN Centre Approval criteria. The assessment and IQA practice are of a very good standard and there are clearly high standards and expectations set for the students at Rotherham Aspire Pupil Referral Unit. The students are very well supported through their programmes of learning, and it has been wonderful to read some of the positive comments they have made regarding the impact of the units and about what they have enjoyed doing and learning. The Centre often has to deal with challenging behaviours and a range of barriers to learning their students may face – but the work produced is excellent and a number of positive outcomes to be proud of."

Feedback from the recent Friends & Family Day
To Everyone at Hutton Park
Thank you for supporting my daughter and bringing her can do attitude back, not giving up on her and giving her opportunities and praise. I do honestly believe that without your person centred approach, nurturing and empathy it could have been a very different story. You are all amazing. Thank you.

No words can explain how truly grateful I am for your support with my daughter. I will always be thankful for how you never gave up on her. At a time when I thought everything was going to fail you gave her a chance and I am sure she will shine. Thank you.”
