schools students have free school meal status who enters by
the age group of 19. In 2014, the FSM group of UK is providing
22% of free meals but the non FSM group provides around 39
% of free meals to the students of old state funded school.

meals from school. The two third of local education primary and nursery
schools in inner London have higher proportion of children going for free school

the independent schools have 251 number of
pupils in the independent school which are going
for free meals. In contrast to this the state funded
primary schools are 281 which provides free meals
to 281 students. Also, there are 114 special schools
