No child should go to school hungry
The school recognises that families are in urgent need of support. Free schools meals will help families with the spiralling cost of living by making sure that children in state-funded London schools will receive free school meals in this academic year.
The introduction of universal free school meals for the academic year could save families upwards of £440 per child*.
This is vital support to families who are facing a cost of living crisis. This funding will ensure that primary school children will get at least one nutritious meal a day. All children deserve that safety net.
- When they are hungry, children struggle to concentrate and learn in the classroom. A free school meal will help children to reach their potential.
- This initiative builds on the Mayor’s existing work helping families to cope during the cost of living crisis. Find out about other cost of living support available to Londoners on the Cost of Living resource hub.
*At the time of calculation, the average cost of a school meal for a primary school child was around £2.30 in London. This represents a cost saving per child of around £440 over 190 school days across the academic year.
Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) provides funding for all government-funded schools to offer free school meals to pupils in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2. UIFSM is totally different from Free School Meals (FSM). Parents of children in Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 that are on benefits will need to also apply for Free School Meals.
In England, a Free School Meal (FSM) is a statutory benefit available to school-aged children from families who receive other qualifying benefits and have been through the relevant registration process.
Children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 receiving Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) will not receive Free School Meal Vouchers.
