Free School Meals

Students eligible for free school meals

The amount allocated for the free school meal will be entered into the system by the software daily and will be accessible throughout the day.

The system will then allow, on a daily basis, the required cash amount for each individual student to be allotted to their current cash balance. However, any underspend or missed dinner will be identified by the system and will not be added to the next day's balance.

Students can also add extra cash to their balance in the system by using the online facility or at the terminal to enable a greater daily spend on their school dinner than the allocated  free meal allowance.  Extra cash added onto the system can also be used for breaktime snacks.

The daily free school meal allowance from 1st September 2023 is £2.97.
