Question: Which children are eligible for free meals at this time?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Providing free school meals during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak
section_headers: Providing meals for pupils attending school
section_content: Schools should provide meal options for all children who are in school, and
meals should be available free of charge to all infant pupils and pupils who
meet the benefits-related free school meals eligibility criteria.
The government will continue to provide schools with their expected funding,
including funding to cover benefits-related free school meals and universal
infant free school meals, throughout this period.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer is direct.  There's not a lot of info, but the answer is there.
This is a good answer that lists out which children are available for free lunch. It says those who meet the criteria although it would be more helpful if it actually listed out the criteria

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Coronavirus (COVID-19): temporary extension of free school meals eligibility to NRPF groups
section_headers: Who is eligible
Section 17 of the Children Act 1989
section_content: Section 17 places a general duty on local authorities to safeguard and promote
the welfare of children in need by providing a range and level of services
appropriate to those children’s needs.
A child will be considered in need if:

they are unlikely to achieve or maintain or to have the opportunity to achieve or maintain a reasonable standard of health or development without the provision of services by the local authority
the child’s health or development is likely to be significantly impaired or further impaired without the provision of such services
the child is disabled.

The support local authorities provide will vary depending on the individual
needs of the child and/or family.
This support is not provided exclusively to people with NRPF – however, the
extended eligibility for free school meals is available only to families with
NRPF.
Some families receiving Section 17 support are able to work, and as such are
subject to a maximum annual household earnings threshold of £7,400 to be
eligible to receive free school meals.
See confirming household income for further guidance on assessing this.
Suggested evidence
You should ask families to sign a self-declaration form as part of their
application for free school meals. A sample application
form including a self-declaration is available, but you can use an
alternative if you prefer.
Families receiving Section 17 support should have a child in need pack from
the local authority which lists the support that they will be providing to the
family. This is updated and reassessed every 3 to 6 months. Schools can ask to
view a copy of this dated within the last 6 months to verify that this support
is being received.
*[NRPF]: no recourse to public funds

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
There is a good amount of information here.  The information spells out what is required for a child to receive the meals for free.
This response seems to do a very good job of going into more detail about which students should get free lunch. It spells out examples in a bullet point and also provides an application form to apply for this benefit

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Actions for early years and childcare providers during the coronavirus outbreak
section_headers: What arrangements do settings need to make about meals for children attending the setting?
section_content: Where maintained nursery schools are open for children of critical workers,
and vulnerable children, they should continue to provide free school meals to
children who would normally receive them.
In all other settings where free school meals do not apply, settings may
charge for meals in line with national entitlements guidance. As per existing
guidance, they should consider the impact of charges on disadvantaged
families.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Free meals are mentioned, but there is not a lot of info here.  The answer seems to answer the question though.
This response also directly answers the question by stating basically that those who normally receive free lunch should continue to receive it. Not a lot of information but it does answer the question
