Free School Meals

Free School Meals

 

Your child may be entitled to free school meals if you are in receipt of one of the following benefits:

 

• Income Support

• Child Tax Credit, provided they are not entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual taxable income that does not exceed £16,190

• Income-Based Job Seekers' Allowance

• Employment Support Allowance (Income Related)

• Guaranteed Element of State Pension Credit

• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999

 

If a parent is entitled to Working Tax Credit during the four-week period immediately after their employment ceases, or after they start to work less than 16 hours per week, their children are also entitled to free school meals.
