Free School Meals
Universal Free School Meals
From September 2014 all pupils in Reception, Year One or Year Two in primary schools across the country were entitled to free school meals via the Government's Universal Infant Free Meal scheme.
In addition, if you are in receipt of certain benefits, or have a household income which is below the Government threshold, you can register this entitlement with your local area education office as it could mean that school can receive additional funding for your child called Pupil Premium. Please refer to the form at the bottom of this page.
