Question
To ask the Scottish Government how many pupils in each school in the G74 and G75 postcode areas (a) will receive from August 2023 and (b) received in the last school year, universal free school meals provision, and what the average saving per child is for these families due to this policy.
Answer
Universal free school meals are available to all children in Primaries 1 to 5, and to all pupils in special schools, saving families £400 per eligible child per year.
We are committed to the expansion of free school meals, with the next phase of this being to children in Primary 6 & 7 whose families are in receipt of the Scottish Child Payment.
The following table shows the number of pupils at each school in the G74 and G75 postcode areas who were registered for universal free school meals at the time of our September 2022 Pupil Census.
