Free school meals made permanent in Westminster's nurseries and secondary schools

Free school meals made permanent in Westminster's nurseries and secondary schools

15 July 2024  

The council said the policy is 'a lifeline to struggling families during a time of soaring food and energy prices'

Free lunches in nurseries and secondary schools in Westminster will continue to be served on a "permanent basis", the borough has announced.

Labour-run Westminster City Council confirmed this week that it will be extending its free school meals programme for pupils between the ages of 3-14 into the coming academic year and beyond.

The commitment has been made possible, the council said, thanks to London mayor Sadiq Khan pledging in his re-election manifesto this year to make his own programme of free school meals permanent.

Mr Khan's re-election means that the earliest his scheme could be removed would be upon the election of a future mayor, which is not expected any sooner than May 2028.

The London-wide programme provides lunches on a universal basis for all state primary school children in the capital. Some boroughs, like Westminster, were already providing those meals when Mr Khan launched the policy, initially on a year-long basis, in 2023 - but all councils have received funding regardless, enabling some to extend their offer to younger and older children.
