Universal Infant Free School Meals
Universal Infant Free School Meals (UIFSM) provides funding for all government funded schools to offer free school meals to pupils in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2. The UIFSM is different funding from that of the above benefits-related free school meals. However, it is important that parents who receive one of the qualifying benefits listed above register for benefits-related free school meals as this enables the school to claim pupil premium.
