Free School Meals and School Clothing Grants

Free School Meals and School Clothing Grants

All children in primaries 1 to 5 are entitled to free school meals, regardless of their family’s income.

Entitlement to free school meals for older children, as well as the school clothing grant, is assessed as part of the application for Housing Benefit/Council Tax Reduction.

Apply for a school clothing grant or free school meals using the form below if you claim any of the following:

  • Income Support
  • Income-based Job Seeker’s Allowance
  • Income-related Employment Support Allowance
  • Child Tax Credit and where your income is less than £17,005
  • Working Tax Credit, and where your income is less than £17,005 (this only applies to the clothing grant)
  • Support provided under Part VI the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
  • Universal Credit where the monthly earned income does not exceed £660
  • Pupils who receive any of these benefits in their own right can also claim free school meals

If you don’t receive Housing Benefit/Council Tax Reduction you can apply for both benefits using the same form below.
