Free school meal holiday payments will be made to all pupils who have been awarded free school meals through the revenue and benefits application and parental income assessment process.
Find out more about applying for a free school meals holiday payment.
Payments for the 2025/26 academic year national school holidays will be issued in line with the table below. Please note that payments may take up to five working days to arrive from the date of issue.
Where we hold bank details for the pupil’s registered parent/carer, one payment per pupil will be made by bank transfer. This payment will show as 'NLC Creditors'.
If we do not hold bank details, payments will be issued through a postal PayPoint voucher to the pupil’s registered school address.
To update bank details/records please email fsm@northlan.gov.uk
If you believe you are entitled to these payments and have not received them within five working days from the issue date, please email fme@northlan.gov.uk
