Free School Meals and Clothing Grant Application

Applications for free school meals and clothing grants for school session 2022/2023 are now open.

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

If your child is in primary six or seven, you should apply so your child can get a free school meal.

If your child is in primary one, two, three, four or five, your child will automatically receive a school meal. However, if you are on a low income, you should apply for free school meals because the council make payments into your bank account in lieu of school meals during school holidays (spring, summer, October and Christmas breaks). Please note these payments are only for people who meet the threshold of being on a low income. You can read more about the criteria on the MyAccount form.

You should also apply for a clothing grant no matter what primary class your child is in.

If you apply for a clothing grant by Friday 15 July and include all the required supporting documentation, then the council will be able to process your application and make a payment to you before the start of the new school term.

Visit MyAccount and log in to apply.
