Extending free school meals

We are extending universal free school meals to include children who live in the borough and attend secondary school (up to the age of 16).

  • If you already get free meals from your school, you do not need to do anything.
  • If you do not get benefits and have an annual net earned income of more than £7,400, you do not need to do anything.
  • If you get benefits but are not currently receiving free school meals, it is important that you fill in your child's registration form.
