🍎 Free School Meals Eligibility is Changing from September 2026
Many more families may be entitled to Free School Meals from September 2026 and may not realise they qualify.

Applying is quick, simple and completely confidential. If your child is eligible, it could help save your family money on school meals while also providing additional funding that supports learning and resources across our school.

We encourage all families to check their eligibility, even if you have applied before or think you may not qualify.

For more information and to apply, please visit: https://www.blackburn.gov.uk/.../school.../free-school-meals
