Free school meals

Your child may be able to get free school meals if you get any 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

  • Working Tax Credit run-on - paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit

  • Universal Credit


Children who get paid these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian, can also get free school meals.

​​

Your child may also get free school meals if you get any of these benefits and your child is both:

​​

  • younger than the compulsory age for starting school

  • in full-time education


If your child is eligible for free school meals, they’ll remain eligible until they finish the phase of schooling (primary or secondary).
