If you have a child attending a school and you receive certain benefits, you may be entitled to claim free school meals.  Plymouth City Council is able to check your eligibility online, therefore minimising the need to provide proof of your entitlement.

It is of great benefit for your child’s school if you are entitled to free school meals as they receive extra school funding for all children who qualify.  Please contact your child’s school for details of their Pupil Premium Policy.

Plymouth City Council have a 5 day turn around for all free school meals applications, and will advise your child’s school of the date the free school meals start.
