Help with school meals and costs

Universal Primary Free School Meals (UPFSM)

All full-time primary school pupils in Wales can get free school meals. You do not need to apply.

Important: UPFSM does not give you access to the School Essentials Grant. To get extra help with school costs you will need to apply for Eligible Free School Meals (eFSM), even if your child receives UPFSM.
