Free School Meals

Parent/Carer Information

Applying for Free School meals:

At All Saints we want to make sure that we are providing your child with the best education and support we can. Healthy school food has obvious health benefits and can help pupils establish healthy habits for life. Healthy school food can also help to improve pupils’ readiness to learn.

 

Expansion of Free School Meals

The Government has confirmed that from September 2026, all children in households receiving Universal Credit will be entitled to Free School Meals, regardless of household income.

 

In order to qualify for this, you must apply before 31st August 2026 (including those who are currently in receipt of a FSM).

 

To check if your child is eligible please use the Online Free School Meal application form below:

You will need to make a new application for each child but your information will be remembered to help you to complete multiple applications quickly. You may apply for eligibility on behalf of a parent/carer if you have permission to do so and their details.
