Free School Meal Eligibility

Free School Meal (FSM) eligibility for children at Horton Mill Community Primary depends on the family’s circumstances. In many cases, your child may be eligible if you receive certain benefits or support, such as Universal Credit (with an income threshold), Income Support, income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, income-related Employment and Support Allowance, or if you are supported through the legacy benefits system. If you are not sure whether you qualify, you can check your eligibility and apply through the school or your local council, as rules can vary depending on your situation.

Applying for Free School Meals can help ensure your child gets the support they need during the school day. If you think you may be eligible, it’s worth submitting an application as soon as possible, even if your circumstances have changed recently. For parents of primary-age children, eligibility may also be affected by changes in household income, benefit status, or other qualifying criteria.
