Free School Meals

We want to make sure that we are providing your child with the best education and support we can. Healthy school food has obvious health benefits and can help pupils establish healthy habits for life. Healthy school food can also help to improve pupils’ readiness to learn.  Families who are currently paying for school meals will save around £450 a year for each child if they are entitled to free school meals.

Which pupils qualify for Free School? Meals?

Your child may be eligible for free school meals if you receive any of the following:

• Universal Credit - your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not

  including any benefits you get).

• Income Support.

• Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance

• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance.

• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999.
