(Picture: PA Archive)London has the highest proportion of children in poverty who do not receive free school meals, the Standard can reveal.
About 210,000 pupils in London live in households that rely on universal credit but miss out on free school meals — because their parents earn more than the restrictive threshold of £7,400 a year, excluding benefits. This equates to 41 per cent of all children in the capital living in poverty.
