Universal Primary Free School Meals UPFSM

 

In line with the Welsh Government Initiative to provide all Primary school children in Wales with a free school meal by 2024, Newport City Council will extend the universal offering from September 2023 to include year’s 3 – 6. Therefore, all children from Reception to Year 6 will receive a free school meal. This commitment is in response to the rising cost-of-living pressures on families and our shared ambitions of tackling child poverty to ensure that no child goes hungry in school.

If you are you are in receipt of any of the benefits listed below, please complete a Free School Meal application as you may be eligible for additional grants for school uniform.
