The government has announced a major expansion of the free school meals policy in England, set to begin at the start of the 2026 school year. Every child whose household is on universal credit will be entitled to free school meals, a change from the 2018 eligibility criteria of a household income less than £7,400 per year. The Department for Education claims the expansion will lift 100,000 Children across England out of poverty and put an extra £500 in parents’ pockets.
