1. 30 Hours Extended Entitlement - Summer Term

Parents expecting to start accessing their Extended Entitlement this summer term must have applied for their codes with the HMRC before 31 March 2018.

However, if a parent approaches you with a validity start date between 1 and 23 April, you will need to see evidence they applied before 31 March before offering them an FE place summer term.

You cannot submit claims for those with start dates 1-23 April if the parent has applied late.

Please see attached additional guidance with samples of acceptable evidence which parents should be able to provide you with.

If you have any questions about free entiltlement eligibility please get in touch by emailing free.entitlement@westsussex.gov.uk
