The Universal Free School Meal Scheme and Pupil Premium
All Key Stage 1 aged children (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) are eligible for Free School Meals under the Universal Free School Meal Scheme. Historically, children who have been eligible for Free School Meals have also received additional funding for their education called Pupil Premium Funding. Due to this link between Free School Meals and Pupil Premium Funding, it is important that all Key Stage 1 pupils who meet the criteria to claim Free School Meals (regardless of UIFSM) are registered in order for schools to receive the Pupil Premium funding.
The basis on which Pupil Premium funding is calculated will not be affected by the introduction of UIFSM. However, it is important that all Key Stage 1 pupils who meet the criteria to claim Free School Meals (regardless of UIFSM) are registered in order for schools to receive the Pupil Premium funding.

School Packed Lunches
School provided school dinners have to adhere to a number of Government regulations and guidelines. The standard of packed lunches brought in from home should be in line with these guidelines. We encourage all families to provide healthy, balanced packed lunches that give children the energy and nutrition they need to learn, play and thrive throughout the day. Below is a link to some great ideas for healthy packed lunches from the NHS.Â
