Please may you provide me with:

1. The number of students in your local authority area receiving free school meals, by year, from 2010.
2. The number of students in your local authority area receiving free school meals, who have been identified to have a mental health concern, by year, from 2010.

Information about Schools, Pupils, and Free School Meals is available on the Government website so we are applying exemption 21 (Information reasonably accessible to the applicant by other means) to this request. We would not hold information dating back to 2010. The below link will allow you to access the data and then select the characteristics and year, then create your own table with local authority data of your choice.
