Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA)

Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) is a weekly payment of £30, paid directly to young people aged 16 to 19 who continue in full-time education.

Who can get EMA

You can get EMA if you’re aged between 16 and 19 and want to continue your education at school.

You can apply for EMA if:

  • you go to a school in the Renfrewshire Council area
  • your household earns less than the income thresholds listed below
  • your course is at least 21 hours of guided learning per week
  • you agree and sign a valid learning agreement with your school.

A learning agreement sets out what’s expected of you around attendance and coursework. You can find out more by contacting: ema.els@renfrewshire.gov.uk or call 0300 300 0300

Active Schools Renfrewshire

Dear Parents and carers,

Active Schools Renfrewshire are about to begin the pupil activity survey process for the 2025/26 school year. This year we are looking to get ahead of the curve and have our digital survey shared among pupils and families as soon as possible. The team would appreciate it if you could complete this survey.

The purpose of the survey is to:

  • Allow children and young people to request activities they’d like to see offered in their schools.
  • Increase sport and physical activity opportunities, that are accessible and inclusive.
  • Access funding streams for new initiatives using evidence from the survey.

Please click on the link below to access survey.
