We highly value this time and ensure that children get the highest quality food.

Mayor of London school meal Programme
2024/2025

City Hall is ensuring all primary school children who attend state schools in London will receive free school meals for the full academic year, starting this September 2023. This means that everyone will receive free meals for the Academic Year starting in September 2023-July 2024 and continuing for the Academic Year 2024/2025, with no action required. This is an extension of the existing Universal Infant Free School Meal scheme that means all Key Stage 1 pupils already receive free school dinners.

Free School Meals

All children from Reception through to Year Six are eligible for a Free School Meal under the London Mayor's Free School Meal scheme introduced in 23/24.

‍

Separately to this, those parents/carers whose children would qualify for Free School Meals under the Government’s existing offer should also continue to apply for free school meals as before. To do so you will need to be in receipt of one of the below benefits:

Income Support
Income Based Jobseeker’s Allowance
Income Based Employment and Support Allowance
Guarantee element of State Pension Credit
Support under part IV of the Immigration & Asylum Act 1999
Child Tax Credit with no workingtax credit and have an income not exceeding £16,190
Working Tax Credit Run on – paidfor 4 weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
Universal Credit – with net earned income of no more than £7,400

‍

Your child will receive a free dinner regardless, however if you are eligible to apply for Free School Meals under the Government’s existing offer, there are other additional benefits to the school worth £1,300 per year. That’s extra money to spend on enrichment activities, teacher development, and targeted support for the children that need it most. We also operate food vouchers during the holiday for Free School Meal recipients.
