What is the difference between Universal Free School Meals and Statutory Free School Meals?
Universal Free School Meals are available to all children in EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2.
Statutory Free School Meals are school dinners for children between the ages of 4 and 16 who attend full time school (but not private schools). They may also be awarded to some children outside this age range who attend full time school or nursery. It is very important that all eligible families apply for Statutory Free School Meals, as additional funding will be given to their school.
