Free School Meals

Free school meals form

Children whose parents receive the following support payments are entitled to receive Free School Meals in maintained schools in Wales:

  • Income Support (IS)*
  • Income Based Jobseekers Allowance (IBJSA)*
  • Support under Part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • Income-related Employment Support Allowance (IR)
  • Child Tax Credit, provided you are not entitled to Working Tax Credit with an annual total income below the HMRC set limit
  • Guarantee element of State Pension Credit

*Children who receive IS or IBJSA in their own right are also eligible to receive free school lunches.

You can apply by completing the attached application form and returning to Contact Wrexham, 16 Lord Street, Wrexham, LL11 1LG. It is essential that all sections of this form are completed, in particular Part 1 showing the claimants full name, date of birth and NI number.

Alternatively, if you are already in receipt of Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit from WCBC please call the Support Services section on 01978 297413 to discuss your eligibility for free school meals.

The Authority may check with your Benefits Agency, on-line, to confirm the benefits you receive.

From September all children in Reception are entitled to a free school meal. Parents still need to log on to Parent pay to indicate the child's choice of meal but payment for children in Reception is no longer required.
