Free School Meals
Parents can register and apply for free school meals for Nottinghamshire schools through the public website and receive an immediate decision regarding their entitlement. This will then be confirmed by email.
If parents are already authorised to receive free school meals then there is no need to reapply. Please check if you are moving from a different council ie Nottingham City to Nottinghamshire.
We want to make sure as many eligible pupils as possible are claiming their free school meals.
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
Please register and apply now, see the link below. If you are unable to apply online please contact us on 0300 500 80 80 or complete an application form below:
