Unfortunately schools, like other organisations, have a lot more admin and support staff than they used to. Years ago didn't have computer networks, bet most secondary schools employ a network manager? Also I imagine there are more welfare and safeguarding staff than years ago? All of this costs money so costs rise even if standing still.I do think all children should get a free school meal and I bet if we simply moved away from the academy model for schools and back to government ownership/running we would save more than enough for free school meals, sorting the funding issue. Naturally there would also be savings to be had in the removal of the administration required for the current free school meals program
