Free School Meal Eligibility

If your child becomes eligible for free schools meals, they will receive a daily allowance of £3.10. If any of this balance is not used on a particular day, it will disappear from the account and £3.10 will be reissued again the following school day, the money does not accumulate.

Here are the two ways that a child eligible for FSM can spend their allowance:

Breakfast:  Free to all students
Break: Free fruit
Two Course Lunch (main & dessert or drink) – £3.10

Breakfast:  Free to all students
Break: 30p snack

If a students spends over their £3.10 FSM allowance, they will go into a minus on their account and are expected to repay this.
