From September 2026, the eligibility criteria for Free School Meals is changing. This means that more families may become eligible for support.

Under the new arrangements, all children in state-funded schools whose household receives Universal Credit will be able to receive a free school meal. There will be two categories of benefits-based Free School Meals: Targeted FSM and Expanded FSM.

The council has also confirmed that the current transitional protections are ending on 31 August 2026. This means that children who have continued to receive benefits-based Free School Meals because of previous protections will need to meet the new eligibility criteria from September 2026.

As part of this change, all children currently receiving benefits-based Free School Meals will need to have their eligibility re-checked before September. Families may also need to reapply when the new application process opens.

The council’s online application portal is due to open next week, from 22 June 2026. We will share the full information, including the application link, once the portal is open.

Parents and carers who currently receive Free School Meals, or who think they may be eligible under the new criteria, are encouraged to look out for further information next week and complete an application if required.

Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 will continue to receive Universal Infant Free School Meals. However, families are still encouraged to apply for benefits-based Free School Meals if they may be eligible, as this can provide access to additional support and funding for school.
