Free School Meals
Your child may be entitled to Free School Meals (FSM) if your household receives Universal Credit or certain other qualifying benefits. From September 2026, all children from households receiving Universal Credit are eligible for free school meals, regardless of household income.
Even if your child is in Reception, Year 1 or Year 2 and already receives a free school meal, it is still important to check whether you are eligible for benefits-related FSM, as this can provide additional support for your child and help our school access additional funding.
For more information and to check your eligibility or apply, please visit Northumberland County Council's Free School Meals page: Northumberland County Council – Free School Meals or call the FSM team directly on 01670 623592.
