An estimated 1 million pupils have signed up for free school meals in the UK for the first time during the coronavirus pandemic, which has forced many families to cope with a significant drop in their income. Around 1.4 million children were already enrolled on the scheme.
We want to understand more about how the scheme is working for families who receive free school meals, and speak to those who have signed up for the first time during the pandemic. We’d also like to speak to school staff who provide the meals about the rise in uptake as a result of coronavirus.
