What has changed

Until now, households on Universal Credit needed an income below £7,400 a year to qualify for free school meals. That income limit no longer applies to learners in Year 7 and Year 8.

Who qualifies

If you receive Universal Credit and your child is in Year 7 or Year 8, you are now eligible to apply, whatever your household income. We hope to see this extended to older year groups in future.

Applied before?

If you applied in the past and were turned down because of your income, please apply again.

How to apply

Apply through Neath Port Talbot Council: Free School Meals

Please contact the school admin team if you have any questions or would like support with the application.
