Free school meals and activities

Find out if your child is eligible for free school meals, how to apply, School Holiday Meals voucher scheme and Holiday activities and food (HAF).

School Holiday Meals voucher scheme

Funding has been secured under the Household Support Fund provided by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to provide vulnerable households peace of mind. The funding will help families and their children to be well fed in the school holidays.

We have issued schools with funding to provide parents of children who would usually receive a FSM with a supermarket voucher to cover their meals over the school holidays.

Who is entitled to the scheme

Meals vouchers will automatically be issued to eligible children who qualify for free school meals.

Pupils in nursery school, reception and years 1 and 2 who receive FSM will not automatically be issued with meals vouchers for the school holidays unless:

  • they've made a successful application for FSM or Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP)
  • they qualify under the low income criteria

If you believe that your child qualifies under the low income criteria for EYPP please read the information in the tabs below.

Children who attend Private and Voluntary Nurseries and are entitled to Early Years Pupil Premium can also receive their school holiday meals vouchers. To request your voucher call us:
