Free School Meals Eligibility Check
If your child is in Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2 (5-11 years) then apply for FSM and Bradford LA will assess if you are also eligible for Pupil Premium funding, for your school: Free School Meals Application
Your child may be eligible for Free School Meals if you receive one of the following benefits:
