Free School Meals

If your child is eligible for Free School Meals, we encourage you to apply. As well as providing your child with a healthy, nutritious meal each school day, your application can also help the school access additional funding to support pupils' learning and wellbeing.

Who can apply?

From September 2026, all children from families receiving Universal Credit are eligible for benefit-related Free School Meals.

Children may also be eligible if their parent or carer receives:

• Income Support

• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance (ESA)

• Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA)

• The Guarantee Credit element of Pension Credit

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

• In some circumstances, support under the No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) scheme.

How do I apply?

Applications are made through Sandwell Council.

To apply, please visit the Free School Meals section of the Sandwell Council website and complete the online application form.

If you are unsure whether your child is eligible or need any help with your application, please contact the school office. We will be happy to help and treat all enquiries in confidence.
