Figures on the proportion of children eligible for free school meals are published, for all authorities in England, annually. The figures can be found in the statistical first releases available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-school-and-pupil-numbers.

The proportion of pupils eligible for and claiming free school meals under the system prior to the introduction of universal free school meals system is published at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/schools-pupils-and-their-characteristics-january-2017.

Data is not summarised by parliamentary constituency, but data for each school is available via the link to underlying tables then the file ‘…Schools_Pupils_UD’.
