Guidance and use
- The Mayor of London scheme extends free school meals to KS2 pupils in London state-funded primary schools who are not funded through government FSM.
- The standard allocation subtracts means-tested government FSM pupils before applying the 87% assumed take-up rate.
- Schools with uptake above 87% should use the London City Hall additional funding guidance; this calculator does not estimate above-87% claims.
