THE number of children claiming free school meals (FSM) in Leeds has increased by nearly 5,000 in just one year, according to statistics. The head of a Leeds-based poverty charity has said this was sadly not surprising, as Covid hit lower-income families the hardest during the past year. His comments come as a Leeds MP has accused the government of “using Covid as cover” to deprive schools of funding for some of Leeds’s most disadvantaged pupils. Figures obtained using the Freedom of Information Act show the government used FSM figures from October 2020, rather than more recent figures from January 2021, to work out pupil premium payments to schools – despite the fact the number of FSM claimants had increased during that time.
