What changed: From the 2026/27 academic year, FSM eligibility expands to include all pupils from households receiving Universal Credit. However, only those meeting the existing £7,400 income threshold ('Targeted FSM') will trigger pupil premium funding and remain in the 'Ever 6 FSM' cohort.
Who is affected: School leaders, governors, and trustees in all state-funded schools (local authority-maintained, academies, free schools, and non-maintained special schools) and local authority virtual school heads.
