Free School Meals

Food Vouchers

The government Free School Meals support scheme, designed to directly help families and individuals who have been hardest hit by the pandemic, is continuing.  Most of the funding is set aside to ensure children are fed over the school holiday periods.

Surrey County Council, in discussion with schools and partners, has agreed to continue funding to provide all families with children eligible for benefit-related Free School Meals (FSM) with supermarket vouchers over the school holiday periods.  If you are eligible for this support, you will have received a letter and will receive your vouchers via email.

Have your circumstances changed, could your child be entitled to Free School Meals?

As well as receiving the equivalent of £390 per year in free school meals, you could also get help with costs for schools trips or revision materials for your child. You must however, register for Free School Meals to receive this financial support.

Your child and school can benefit in many ways even if your child does not want to take up school breakfast and lunches.

We can check your child's eligibility (scroll past the post code checker to see the criteria) for free school meals if you complete the eligibility form here and return it to us.
