Holiday Free School Meal Vouchers

Fri 21 Nov 2025

This Winter Holiday, Gloucestershire County Council will provide families in receipt of Free School Meals, who sign up to this offer, with vouchers to assist with food costs during the school holidays. The vouchers are funded through grant funding and they are separate to that of term time free school meals.

The scheme is for children in reception to year 11 who receive Pupil Premium (benefits-related) free school meals and attend a school in Gloucestershire.

Families who have signed up to the scheme or who are already registered will receive a total of £15 per child for one week.

Families who have signed up previously do not need to re-register for the Winter holiday vouchers - they will already have been included. Families that have previously signed up will need to contact us with any changes to their circumstances (e.g. if the number of children eligible increases or decreases).

If you have not previously received vouchers you will need to apply. Applications will be open from midday 25 November until midday on 9 December.

Voucher emails will be sent from week commencing 15 December. If you have not received your vouchers by 22 December, please check your junk folder and then submit a query via the Microsoft Form HERE.

To find out more about the scheme and to apply, those wishing to find out more about eligibility and the scheme can do so by visiting the holiday free school meal voucher webpage here: Holiday free school meal vouchers | Gloucestershire County Council

Using vouchers – vouchers will only be awarded once the parent has registered for the scheme and cannot be backdated. Vouchers should be used in the holiday period in which they are awarded. If vouchers are not claimed and have expired, they cannot be re-issued. Vouchers not received should be queried via the Microsoft Form HERE by the end of the holiday period.
