Families with a household income below £16,190 will be affected. The move is expected to cost £140 million a year.
The government has also announced plans to extend the current pilots of free school lunches from just two areas, making a pilot available in each English region.
In the 2009 school census in England, over 600,000 children in nursery and primary education qualified for free meals and over 400,000 in secondary schools, said The BBC.
Meanwhile in Scotland, all children in the first three years of primary school are to be entitled to free meals from August 2010, following pilots in five areas.
The Chancellor said spending on schools in the UK will continue to rise above inflation over the next couple of years.
