Universal Infant Free School Meals

All children in EYFS and Key Stage 1 are entitled to a free meal each day under the governments Universal Free School Meals (UIFSM) scheme. Please note that children entitled to Free School Meals should still apply for these regardless if they are in EYFS or Key Stage 1 as there is other funding for schools for these children.

Free School Meals

A child may be eligible to receive Free School Meals if the parent receives any of the following:

• Universal Credit - if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 your household income must be £7,400 a year or less (after tax and not including any benefits you get)
• income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• the guaranteed element of Pension Credit

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

  Your child may also get free school meals if you get any of these benefits and your child is both:

• younger than the compulsory age for starting school
• in full-time education

• From the start of academic year 2026 to 2027, your child will qualify for free school meals if you get Universal Credit, regardless of household income.

  If you do not qualify for most benefits (also known as having ‘no recourse to public funds’), your child may still be eligible for free school meals. Ask their school or local authority whether they’re eligible.

How to check if you’re entitled to Free School Meals:-

Parents and carers can now apply for free school meals online via the Citizen Portal, using the link below. Your eligibility will be checked online, and the portal will let you know whether your child is eligible for free school meals. If your child is eligible you will receive a confirmation message, and the school will be notified directly. If you are not eligible you will be presented with a message stating this.
