Did you know the government gives additional funding to schools for those children entitled to free school meals?

Schools use this money to obtain additional staff and resources that help improve the quality of education.

To find out whether your child qualifies for free school meals, and hence whether their school would receive additional funding, please fill in the details requested on this site.

We have made a couple of enhancements to the website, for further information please see the FAQ's, the enhancements are:

• An LGfL or TRUSTnet school can check eligibility on behalf of a parent, the parent will need to contact your child's school, as they can run a check on your behalf.
• A parent of a child attending any LGfL or TRUSTnet school can now use this website to check their eligibility.
• A Certificate of Eligibility is available through our website for any child eligible for a free school meal that is attending a school in England. The Certificate of Eligibility should be taken to your child's school.  

We would like to thank you for taking the time to do this by offering you free Antivirus software to use at home*, regardless of the outcome.
