The Government has announced an expansion to eligibility and all children from households receiving Universal Credit will now be entitled to Free School Meals, regardless of household earnings effective from September 2026. This change means many more families will be able to access support with the cost of school meals.
If you are currently receiving Universal Credit and your child does not already receive Free School Meals, please visit: https://fsm.lgfl.net/app/school/17923 and complete the online form to check if your child is eligible for Free School Meals. Once you have submitted, eligibility will be securely checked against government records. The result will appear on screen immediately and will also be sent to your email address. We will automatically receive your application and will update our records accordingly to show any new eligibility.

We are a cashless catering service, each student will have their biometrics taken, and/or be given a pin number which will be linked to a ParentPay account. Money is then deducted from the account according to what the student has purchased.
Parents can set daily amount limits and access information about what the student has eaten, and students benefit from a faster service through the canteen.
