Applications for clothing grants and free school meals for the new school year 2024–25 are now open.

You should apply for a clothing grant and free school meals if you are on a low income and receive a qualifying benefit.

The Council makes payments in lieu of free school meals during school holidays. You can only get these if you have applied for free school meals, so if your child is in primary 1 to 5 (P1 to P5) where all children get a meal free of charge, you should still apply so you get this money.

Anyone with a child going into primary 6 (P6) who meets the criteria is encouraged to apply for free school meals to ensure their child continues to receive one.

If you apply for a clothing grant by Friday 12 July and include all the required supporting documentation, then the Council will process your application and make a payment to you before the start of the new school term.
