Overview
We want to make it as easy as possible for families to keep their children at school and learning.
The best place for a young person is in the classroom but we know the cost of living can make things difficult.
If you receive a qualifying benefit and have a child in infant, primary or secondary school, your child may be able to get free school meals or school uniform grants.
The Pupil Benefits Team will work out what support you can get.
You should include all the children in your household on the application form even if they’re currently below school age.
WarningWe process a lot of applications at the start of the new school year. During this time, we prioritise paying school clothing grants. If you’ve already applied, please do not apply again unless you need to give us new information.
