In order for secondary school pupils to receive free school meals you will need to apply on the Islington council website.
Free School Meals from September 2026
From September 2026, changes to Free School Meal (FSM) eligibility linked to Universal Credit (UC) will
come into effect.
If your household receives Universal Credit, your child may be eligible for Free School Meals under the new
arrangements. We strongly encourage families to check their eligibility and apply if appropriate, as FSM
registration can provide important support for your child and additional funding for the school.
Applications are made directly through Islington Council and are confidential.

If you need any help with the application process or would like to discuss your circumstances, please
contact the school admin office and ask to speak to Mr Ranger, who will be happy to support you.
