@GMB In 2015, the qualification for free school meals was on tax credits and a household income of less than £16190. As people have been moved onto universal credit the new threshold is below £7400. (In 2025). Thus pushing all of those families who would previously have qualified into
@GMB Hi
I am a Deputy head teacher and have been a sendco for 19 years. I deal lots with families in crisis. One thing that seems to be missing from the news is the following fact. Please could a journalist investigate as I have been trying to voice this for several years now.
