Scottish government have confirmed that children in primary and secondary school who receive a free school meal on the basis of low income are eligible for an additional \u00a3100 winter hardship payment. We encourage parents whose child is eligible for a free school meal to apply this week so they can receive this payment – www.renfrewshire.gov.uk\/freeschoolmealsandclothinggrants<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Anyone who has previously applied for a free school meal for this school year (2020-21) will receive the payment directly into their bank account before Christmas. Anyone who applies between Monday 30 November and Friday 18 December will receive this payment by mid-January at the latest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

P1-P3 pupils are not automatically eligible for this payment as every child receives a free school meal regardless of their family\u2019s circumstances. We would urge all families on low incomes with a P1-P3 child to apply for free school meals by Friday 18 December.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Nursery children of low-income parents aren\u2019t entitled to the winter hardship payment, but are entitled to the \u00a327 free school meal payment to cover the festive break. If you are eligible, please apply at www.renfrewshire.gov.uk\/freeschoolmealsandclothinggrants<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Further information on the COVID winter hardship payment (\u00a3100 per child)<\/a> can be found on Scottish Government\u2019s website.<\/p>\n
