Free School Meal Eligibility Checking Service

Make sure all of your eligible pupils get their free school meals with Entrust's checking service.

The provision of free school meals became an important issue during the earlier stages of the Coronavirus pandemic, with a high-profile campaign by footballer Marcus Rashford to allow disadvantaged families to keep receiving vital help while their children were at home.

Even though pupils are back in the classroom, the issue is still as important, and we want to help ensure families get the help they need. You can make sure that every pupil who’s eligible for free school meals at your school receives them, with our Eligibility Checking Service.

By linking to the Department for Education, our service:

• Offers a faster, simpler, and more convenient application process
• Reduces application errors through computer-assisted validation
• Removes the need for pupils who continue to be eligible to re-apply
• Removes potential stigma as parents can apply direct
• Saves administrative time
• Delivers a fast response of the notification of entitlement.
