If you are on benefits, your child may be entitled to free school meals no matter what year they are in.

If you are on benefits and your child is entitled to universal infant free school meals anyway, it is still important to register for a free school meal to ensure school does not miss out on funding called pupil premium.

Pupil premium gives the school funding to give your child extra support and or resources in school.

You are entitled to free school meals if you receive any of the following benefits:

• Universal Credit (provided you have an annual net earned income of no more than £7,400, as assessed by earnings from up to three of your most recent assessment periods)
• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
• The guarantee element of Pension Credit
• Child Tax Credit (provided you’re not also entitled to Working Tax Credit and have an annual gross income of no more than £16,190)
• Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
• If your child is eligible for free school meals, they will continue to receive them until they move to a new stage of school, such as from primary into secondary school

Please note: People receiving Working Tax Credit, regardless of their income level, do not qualify.

To claim

• please speak to Ms Staton or Mrs Warren at school or
• apply online: https://www.leeds.gov.uk/schools-and-education/apply-for-free-school-meals

Your child is also eligible for pupil premium if your child is looked after or post looked after or you are an armed services family.
