Your child(ren) will be entitled to free school meals if you as the parent are in receipt of any of the following benefits:
The Pupil Premium Grant is additional funding on top of the main funding a school receives. It is targeted at children from low-income families to ensure that they benefit from the same opportunities as children from families with higher incomes.
The grant is paid for every child who receives free school meals. However families may not choose to claim free school meals, but if they have an income below £16,190 then a child is still eligible.
