Yes, your child can still receive free school meals while in secondary school, provided your family meets the eligibility criteria based on qualifying benefits. This is intended to support low-income families and ensure that children receive a healthy meal during school hours.
You can apply for free school meals through the council, and even if your child does not take the meal, it helps the school receive additional funding for activities and support.
