Free School Meals

To apply for free school meals:

1. You and your child must both live in the borough of Rochdale or the city of Manchester. If you're claiming from an address in the city of Manchester, your child must attend a school in the borough of Rochdale. If you and your child live in any other borough regardless of where they go to school, you should contact your local council to apply instead.
2. Complete the free school meals online application form on the council website.
3. If we award free school meals for a period you've already paid for, you can request a refund by contacting your school directly.
