Free school meals and clothing grant

£500,000 worth of additional funding has been allocated to the school clothing grant fund as part of a new £2m cost of living reserve fund. This means that eligible parents will now receive a clothing grant worth £50 for each primary school child, up from £25, and £100 for each secondary school child, up from £35. 

If you're eligible, make sure you apply for free school meals if you haven't already so that you receive your school clothing grant too. It only takes 5 minutes. The link to apply is to the left of this page.
