Free School Meals

Do you qualify?

Your child may be able to get Free School Meals if you get any of the following:

• Income Support
• Income Based Jobseekers' Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The Guaranteed element of State Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you are 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

Children who get any of the above benefits in their own right (ie. they get benefits payments directly, instead of through a parent or guardian) can also get Free School Meals.

Children under the compulsory school age who are in full-time education may also be able to get Free School Meals.
