Free school meals
From September 2026, more children will be eligible for Free School Meals.
If your household receives Universal Credit, your child may now be entitled to Free School Meals, even if your earned household income is above the previous £7,400 threshold.
This change does not automatically mean that all children now receiving Free School Meals will also qualify their school for additional Pupil Premium funding. Pupil Premium is funding given to schools to support eligible pupils, and the existing eligibility rules for this funding remain the same.
If your child was already eligible for Free School Meals under the previous criteria, their existing Pupil Premium eligibility will not be affected by these changes.
We encourage all families receiving Universal Credit to check whether their child is eligible and apply for Free School Meals through their Local Authority's website.
If you are an asylum seeker, you will need to apply directly to the school or contact the Access Team.
My children are going to get a free school meal anyway – why do I still need to apply?
Even if your child already receives a free school meal, it is still important to check their eligibility and apply where appropriate. Eligible pupils and families may be able to access additional support, and schools may receive Pupil Premium funding where the relevant criteria are met. This support can include:
- Additional Pupil Premium funding for the school to support your child’s education
- Help with the cost of residential school trips
- Help with travel costs to school
- Help with school uniform costs
- Help with council-run music lessons at school
