Free School Meals

Free School Meals

There are changes to eligibility for Free School Meals. 

Universal Credit Eligibility: All children in households receiving Universal Credit are now entitled to free school meals, removing the previous £7,400 earnings cap for basic meal eligibility.

Two New Benefit Categories: Benefits-based free school meals are split into Targeted FSM (households earning £7,400 or less, plus legacy/other qualifying benefits) and Expanded FSM (households receiving Universal Credit earning above £7,400).
