Free School Meal Entitlement

All children attending school in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2, are entitled to a universal free school meal, regardless of income or eligibility for benefits.

Since the introduction of the universal free school meals for KS1, we have noticed that the number of families applying for free school meals has fallen, this has a negative impact on school funding. This money could be spent on further educational resources; providing additional educational support; subsidising trips and visits etc.

Please complete the appropriate form if you are eligible for free school meals, to ensure the school receives the correct income to support your child’s learning.

In order to be eligible for free school meals a Parent/Carer must meet one of the following:

Universal Credit provided they have an annual net earned income not exceeding £7,400 (616.67 per month)
Income Support
Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
Support under Part 6 of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
The guarantee element of Pension Credit
Child Tax Credit, provided they are not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190, as assessed by HMRC
Working Tax Credit run-on-paid for 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax

In order to register your child you can visit http://www.worcestershire.gov.uk/info/20062/schools/684/applying_for_free_school_meals and follow the instructions.

If you are entitled please make sure you claim.
