Free School Meals

Working together for a successful future

Introduction to Free School Meals 

At Queensgate Primary School, we want to make sure every child has the best possible start to their day — and that includes a healthy, nutritious meal at lunchtime.

Free School Meals (FSM) are available to children whose families meet certain eligibility criteria. These meals provide a balanced lunch to help children stay focused, energized, and ready to learn.

If your family qualifies for free school meals, it means your child can enjoy a healthy, free lunch every school day, which supports their wellbeing and academic progress.

There are two types of "Free" School Meals:

  1. Means-tested Free School Meals — For families who have applied and meet certain criteria related to financial hardship.
  2. Universal Infant Free School Meals — For all children in Reception, Year 1, and Year 2, regardless of family circumstances.
