    Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM)

    Universal Infant Free School Meals

    All children in reception, year 1 and year 2 automatically get a free school meal, but you should still register your child to receive free school meals if you are eligible.  By doing this your child’s entitlement can be checked on a regular basis so that their school can receive valuable additional funding for every child receiving a free school meal.  You can find out if your child qualifies for free school meals and apply here: https://forms.torbay.gov.uk/freeschoolmeals
