Free School Meals

Are you free school meal eligible?

With the higher cost of living in recent years you may now be getting support you didn’t used to.

Let the school know if you’re free school meal eligible and the school gets extra funding, as well as daily meals for your child or children.

To qualify, your child must be in school and you must be receiving one of the following benefits:

• Income support
• Income based Job Seekers Allowance
• Income related Employment and Support Allowance
• NASS support
• Guarantee element of State Pension
• Child Tax Credit, provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190
• Working Tax Credit for the four weeks after employment ends
• Universal Credit, provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400

If this applies to you but your child isn’t registered for free school meals, complete a form and return it to your child’s school.

Download the form and apply for Free School Meals on Wokingham Borough Council’s website.
