Universal Infant Free School Meals

All children in Reception and Years 1 and 2 are entitled to free lunches as part of the Government's Universal Infant Free School Meal policy.

For some of these children, the school will also be able to claim Pupil Premium, which will help provide further support by making sure that the school receives all the Government funding to which it is entitled.

The criteria for eligibility is receipt of one or more of the following benefits:

Income-based Job Seekers' Allowance
