FREE SCHOOL MEALS: £15m to extend support to more Swansea Bay secondary pupils from September
More secondary school pupils across Swansea Bay and Carmarthenshire are set to qualify for free school meals, under a £15m Welsh Government investment confirmed today.
The money will begin removing the strict income limit that currently shuts many families out, even when they are on Universal Credit.
At present, a secondary pupil only qualifies for free school meals if their family receives Universal Credit and earns less than £7,400 a year, excluding benefits.
The new funding starts the work of scrapping that cap, so that any secondary-age child in a household on Universal Credit can qualify, regardless of household income.
The change will be rolled out from September, starting with pupils in Years 7 and 8, whose parents will be able to apply for the new scheme.
The £15m is split into £10m of capital funding — to upgrade school kitchens and dining areas — and £5m to introduce and run the expanded scheme.
It forms part of the Welsh Government’s supplementary budget for 2026-27, due to be published on 23 June.
The move builds on the rollout of free school meals to all primary school children in Wales, which was delivered under the 2021 to 2024 co-operation agreement between the then Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru.
Education Minister Anna Brychan said the funding marked the first step in a wider commitment to extend the meals to more secondary pupils.
“This funding marks the first step in our commitment to extend free school meals to more secondary pupils, ensuring that support reaches families who need it most,” she said.
“By starting to invest, we are laying the foundations for a fair and sustainable expansion that will make a real difference in pupils’ daily lives.”
She said the policy was about removing barriers to learning, adding that access to nutritious food improved concentration, attainment and health.
“Building on the success of universal primary free school meals, we will ensure that as children move into secondary education those who need it most will continue to receive the support they need to thrive,” she said.
First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth said extending eligibility was an important step in tackling child poverty and reducing inequality across Wales.
“Starting this work is a key aspect of our 100 Day Plan and beyond — taking practical action by putting money back into families’ pockets and ensuring every young person has the opportunity to succeed, regardless of their background,” he said.
The expansion comes against a backdrop of stubbornly high child poverty in the region, with around one in four children in Swansea estimated to be growing up in poverty.
The Welsh Government said it was working with partners to deliver the scheme “at pace”, with further details promised shortly.
For families across the region, the practical question will be how and when to apply — with the first applications, for Years 7 and 8, expected to open in the autumn term.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE: £4.9m school boost gets underway in Townhill
A brand-new dining hall and all-weather sports pitch are being built at Townhill Community Primary School, with leaders hailing the project as a “game-changer” for pupils and families.
The investment — backed largely by the Welsh Government — aims to make sure every child can benefit from free school meals without squeezing into cramped facilities.
Right now, all pupils are entitled to a free lunch — but the school’s current kitchen and canteen simply can’t keep up.
Council leader Rob Stewart said:
“This is making a real and important difference to families throughout Swansea.”
And it’s not just about food.
The new hall will double up as a performance and community space — giving parents more room to watch school concerts and opening the doors for wider local use.
Meanwhile, a brand-new multi-use games area will give pupils — and the wider community — a place to stay active all year round.

“This will be an exciting addition… boosting health and wellbeing during the day and beyond.”
Contractors Andrew Scott Ltd are leading the build, which is expected to take around a year.
School leaders say the investment is about more than bricks and mortar.

“We are delighted the school and community are going to have such a superb resource.”
And governors say it marks a step towards becoming a true “community school” — with facilities used long after the final bell rings.
