For free school meals in Hillingdon, there isn't a strict application deadline mentioned, but parents and carers are encouraged to check eligibility with their child's school, especially as some schools may have different arrangements for accessing meals.
However, for holiday benefit-related free school meals, the deadline for applications preceding the Easter break is Wednesday 30 April. Applications received after this date will not be eligible for Easter payments, though they may qualify for future payments.
Here's a quick summary of important deadlines related to free school meals and holiday support:
| Type of Application | Deadline |
|---|---|
| Holiday payments (Easter) | 30 April |
| General ongoing applications | Check with child’s school |
It's wise to reach out to your child's school for specific information on accessing free school meals and any deadlines for your particular situation. For more details, you can visit Hillingdon's Free School Meals page.
