You can’t apply for free school meals through the information available here, because these pages don’t give the application route for that service. What Folkestone & Hythe does show is where to get food support in the district, including school-based and family foodbank options.
| Support option | What it offers | How to access |
|---|---|---|
| Folkestone & Hythe Family Foodbank | Vouchers for foodbanks; includes school/college distribution points | Self-referral to a distribution centre, including Castle Hill Family Hub, Folkestone Family Hub, Cheriton Family Hub, New Romney Family Hub, People Plus, and for college students only East Kent College EKC |
| Turner Stone Centre / Folkestone Academy | Family foodbank run at the school on Tuesday and Thursday | Via the family foodbank voucher route |
| East Kent College EKC | Free meals for those aged 16 to 19 from low income households, plus grants for students aged over 19 | Contact 01843 230876 |
| Sunshine Team Food Pantry | Food pantry during school hours for anyone needing support | Visit during school hours |
If you want the actual free school meals application, you’d need the council’s dedicated free school meals page, but it isn’t included in the published council information I can see here.
