All children in Sutton will automatically qualify for Universal Free School Meals, but this does not mean automatic qualification for benefit related Free School Meals. It’s vitally important that you
still complete your school or borough’s registration form in case your child is eligible for extra funding for their school from the Government, worth £1,300 per year. That’s extra money to spend on enrichment activities, teacher development, and targeted support for the children that need it most. Depending on how schemes operate in your borough, it may also entitle you to other benefits like food vouchers during the holidays. Please register for free school meals here.
