Free school meals

Legacy benefits provided by the Government is being withdrawn and replaced by Universal Credit.

To help with this transition, pupils who become eligible for free school meals will remain irrespective of change in carer or financial circumstances (the exception are ineligible pupils who go into LA care).

IMPORTANT UPDATE CONCERNING PROTECTION:

Due to change in government policy on free school meals, the protection has been extended until the end of the 2025/26 academic year.

The DfE will publish further guidance in due course.
