Free School Meals

Did you know – just by registering your child for Free School Meals means that the Academy gets extra funding to support their learning?

REGISTER NOW to make sure your child doesn't miss out.

The Government is giving money to schools to help students to achieve their very best. This funding is called Pupil Premium. With this money, your child may access:

• TA support
• Extra intervention
• Extended learning opportunities
• Enrichment Activities
• Homework support
• Holiday clubs
• Extra resources
• Rewards

Do you qualify?

You can claim free school meals for a child who lives with you and who you are responsible for.

Your child is eligible for Free School Meals if you get one or more of the following benefits:

• Universal Credit (provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods)
• Income Support
• Income based Jobseekers Allowance
• Income related Employment Support Allowance
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The guaranteed element of State Pension Credit

From 1 September 2026, the qualifying criteria for free school meals has changed.

From the start of the 2026 to 2027 academic year, free school meals eligibility is being expanded to all children from households in receipt of Universal Credit regardless of household earnings. Free school meals are available to pupils in receipt of, or whose parents are in receipt of, one or more of the following benefits: 

• Universal Credit
• support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

Households may also be entitled to a meal if they:

• are in receipt of income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• receive the guarantee element of Pension Credit
• meet criteria set out in separate guidance for families with no recourse to public funds

There will be two qualifying groups for free school meals

• Targeted free school meals - Households in receipt of Universal Credit with annual earnings of £7,400 or less. This entitles schools to claim a student premium, the pupil is eligible for the holiday activities and food programme (HAF), and the extended rights element of school travel assistance.
• Expanded free school meals - Pupils who do not qualify for targeted free school meals, but are in households receiving Universal Credit. These qualify for free meals only.

If you are awarded free school meals this will continue to the end of the academic year even if you have a change in your circumstances that means you should not qualify for free meals. All free school meal awards will be reviewed yearly between June and October.
