Welcome to the Lincolnshire County Council Parent Portal

This portal allows parents or carers to apply for the following:

• 2 Year Old Childcare Funding
• Free School Meals
• School Places
  

This online interface allows a user to create an account, add their children to the account, and then apply to one of the services listed above. Once an application has been created and submitted it is available for the Local Authority to view. Due to the nature of the services you can apply for, it is important that you do provide the correct date of birth details for your child.

To use the Parent Portal, create an account using the "Sign In or Create an Account" link which can be found on the upper left side of this page. To return after creating an account, use the same link.  Your username for the Portal will be the e-mail address you use when setting up your account. When navigating the pages, please don't use your browser's back button as your content may not be saved. If you are using a tablet/smartphone you can access the menu items including the 'Sign In' and 'Create account' links using the menu in the top right hand corner.
