Holiday Free School Meal Provision
Mon 24 Jul 2023Holiday provision for learners who are eligible for free school meals was introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as a form of time-limited support to help families. While there have been several temporary continuations of the scheme, Welsh Government have confirmed on 28th June 2023 that despite fully exploring options for funding a further extension, it has not been possible due to funding constraints. The most recent extension to the end of May half term is the last. There will be no further extension to cover the summer holiday period or beyond.
