Free School Meals information
If you think you may be entitled to Free School Meals, please check out the guidelines below:
Free school meals
It is important for children to have a good, nutritious meal at lunch time. If you can’t afford school dinners you may be eligible for free school meals.
To be eligible you must be receiving one of the following:
-
-
- 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 any of the above benefits in their own right (i.e. they get benefits payments directly, instead of through a parent or guardian) can also get free school meals.
You are not eligible if you receive any amount of Working Tax Credit.

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