Control Universal Free School Meals eligibility by

UFSM - Date of Birth Eligibility

You can now control your UFSM eligibility by date of birth. This is particularly useful for schools where pupils move from Pre School (not eligible for USFM) to Primary School (eligible for UFSM), and when year groups 1 and 2 are promoted over the summer holiday. This means parents can order lunches before the new academic year starts. 

To control UFSM eligibility by date of birth:

  • Click on the Configuration tab in SCO 

  • Select System options

  • Select the Dinners / Extended day tab

  • Tick the box next to Control your UFSM eligibility by date of birth

If you decide to not control the UFSM eligibility by Date of Birth, please visit the page herefor steps on how to manage your UFSM students over the summer holiday period.
