Free School Meal Category clarification

From this academic year, there are now two categories of Free School Meals (FSM)

Targeted FSM: Covers households on Universal Credit with net annual earnings of £7,400 or less. This group continues to attract additional benefits like Pupil Premium, Ever 6 FSM disadvantage funding, holiday activities, and related support.
Expanded FSM: A new category for households receiving Universal Credit with earnings above £7,400. This grants entitlement to the free meal itself, but does not qualify the pupil for Pupil Premium funding or wider disadvantage metrics.

If you fall into one of the above categories, please contact the Local Authority to apply.
