Roll-out of free school meals for all primary school children in Wales completed

The Welsh Government has confirmed that all pupils in maintained primary schools across Wales are now able to receive a free school meal from this week.

The roll-out of the programme has now been completed as pupils return from the summer break, meaning every child up to and including Year 6 is now able to receive a free school meal from Monday to Friday during term time.

The introduction of universal free school meals for primary school pupils was part of the Co-operation Agreement between the Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru.
