Free School Meal Holiday Payments

Free School Meal Holiday Payments

Notification from Welsh Government

As you are aware, holiday provision for learners that are eligible for a free school meal was introduced in response to the COVID pandemic as a form of time-limited support to help families. While we have been able to support several temporary continuations of the scheme, we confirmed in March 2023 that the most recent extension would be up to the end of the May half term only. It has been confirmed that this remains the case and that there will be no further extension to cover the summer holiday period or beyond.

Meal holiday payments has now ended and will not be paid in respect of the Summer holiday period or beyond
