Sarah Teather: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many pupils were known to be eligible for free school meals but were not in receipt of free school meals over the last 10 years. [131798]
Jim Knight [holding answer 17 April 2007]: Information on pupils eligible for free school meals is collected at pupil level via the school census. Pupils should only be recorded as eligible if a claim for free school meals has been made for them or on their behalf by parents and their eligibility has been confirmed by the relevant authority or by provision of necessary documents to the school or local authority.
It is not known how many pupils could be eligible but are not submitting a claim.
The following table shows the number of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals; and the number of pupils who took a free school meal on the day of the census.
