Hello all,

My son just started year 2 few days ago. I am wondering if year 2’s get free meals too or is it family income based?

All Key Stage1 children are entitled to free meals - Reception, Year 1, Year 2.

Yep, even if they turn seven in few days before term starts.

You might need to fill in a form on your parent portal on your council though

Surely the school provided literature that tells parents this?

It should be automatic for all children in Key Stage 1

Children get free meals from reception until the end of year 2.

Schools will ask those entitled to free school meals to still apply for those as it gives more funding to the school.

I've never filled in any forms to get the free meals.
