  • a primary school in Islington from the age of three, full time.

I believe my child receives free school meals, what should I do?
All primary school pupils in Islington receive free school meals if they attend a mainstream school. This is unique to Islington that no matter the circumstances of a family that every child receives a lunch which they are not required to pay for.

If you believe that this may include you then continue to read the information below and verify your eligibility with the local authority. Please then share this information with the school via our parent email address so we can update your child’s ‘Free School Meal’ status for you.

Local authorities will continue to accept free school meal applications. Parents should make contact with the local authority, who will verify eligibility and award free school meals.

You can do this by visiting the Islington Citizen Portal

What is the eligibility criteria for free school meals?
The eligibility criteria for free school meals can be found at apply for free school meals.

  • Working Tax Credit run-on – paid for four weeks after you stop qualifying for Working Tax Credit
  • Universal Credit – if you apply on or after 1 April 2018 and your household income is less than £7,400 a year after tax and before benefits
