School Meals Price Increase - 1st April 2025

We have been informed by the schools catering team that the price of a school meal is increasing to £3.16 per day - £15.30 for a full week. The price increase is coming into effect from 1st April 2025.

We want to make sure as many eligible pupils as possible are claiming their free school meals. We use the Department for Education's free school meals eligibility checking system to determine eligibility.

To apply, you will need to register and provide:

• your National Insurance Number or National Asylum Support Service Reference Number
• your last name
• your date of birth

If your entitlement to free school meals cannot be assessed through the eligibility checking system, we will let you know.  If you think you are eligible to the benefits listed below you can provide us with more details for a manual assessment.

You can apply for free school meals online or by contacting Nottinghamshire County Council  on 0300 500 80 80.
