Applying for Free School Meals
- Go on to Redbridge website – www.redbridge.gov.uk
- Click on the ‘Schools’ tab
- Click on the ‘Benefits support & services’ tab.
- Click on the ‘Free School Meals’
- There is a list of who is eligible – if you are, complete the application and submit it.
- It usually takes up to 10 days before you will receive an answer. Remember, your child is not eligible until you have received the confirmation from the Borough to say they are. At this point, you have only applied and have to wait for the confirmation.
- Usually, the school will receive confirmation from the Borough at the same time you are notified, but it’s always worth checking with the school that they have received the notification so that we can update our systems as soon as possible.
