10 Jul £50 per child who is eligible for Free School Meals over Summer 2022 – Check your eligibility now
When children are in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 they are currently entitled to universal free school meals, during term time. When children move into Year 3 parents need to pay for school meals unless they are entitled to Free School Meals.
Some families are eligible for Free School Meals during term time and vouchers during school holidays (for as long as the local authority continues to issue them). Please use the link to check your eligibility: https://portal.learningtrust.co.uk/Synergy/Enquiries/Citizen/FreeSchoolMeals.aspx
Please note that you will need to create an online account for this, all you need is your email address, National Insurance Number (if you have one) and details of any benefit information.
It is particularly wise for the parents of Year 2 children to check now as from September you will need to pay for school meals if you are not eligible.
