Schools received, and continue to receive, their funding for free school meals as normal.</p><p>Building on the significant support given to the most vulnerable during the COVID-19 outbreak, a new £170 million Covid Winter Grant Scheme has been launched by the Department for Work and Pensions, and will be run by councils in England.
