Enabling children to flourish and succeed

Free School Meals

Free School Meals

 

If your child isn't registered for Free School Meals and you receive any of the following benefits, your child may be able to get free school meals:

  • Income Support
  • Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
  • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
  • Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • The guaranteed element of Pension Credit
  • Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
  • Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
  • Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be less than £7,400 a year (after tax and not including any benefits you get)

Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals.

 

Infant free school meals in England

Your child will be able to get free school meals if they’re in a government-funded school and in:

  • year 1

Tell us if you also get any of the qualifying benefits. Your child’s school can get extra funding if you do.
