Around 2,000 school children in Neath Port Talbot are set to receive free school meals next month, with all children in primary years three and four now entitled to universal free school meals.
In all, a further 1,908 children across the borough will automatically receive free school meals directly through their school at the start of the summer term this year, beginning from Monday, April 17.
The scheme is a part of the Welsh Government’s commitment for every primary school pupil to receive a free school meal by 2024. Parents will not have to apply.
