Meal scheme will switch for half-term
The free meal system for school pupils will change over the February half term – as the government tries to balance its books by using a different department’s funding for the food.
In a switchover that has the potential to spark some administration issues, meals for those that need it will continue, but paid for from a different area.
Currently the Department for Education are in charge of providing cash for school meals during the coronavirus outbreak in term-times.
But when half term arrives something called the Covid Winter Grant Scheme, which comes from the DWP, will supply the money. It has £170m of funds.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has ordered an investigation into the free school meals scandal that left families receiving as little as £5 worth of food in what was meant to be a £30 package lasting a school week. The Government has outsourced the free school meals programme to a private catering firm, Chartwells, which is run by £24.8billion-earning Compass Group UK & Ireland. Until recently, the company’s chairman was a prominent donor to the Conservative party.
