Clothing grants

Clothing grants are paid by bank transfer. If your application has been submitted before mid-July payment will be made the week commencing 24 July 2023. For applications processed after this date payment will generally be made within a week of your claim being awarded.

If your child is returning to school for fifth or sixth year, payment will be made only after they have returned in August and the school has confirmed attendance.

School meals

Payment for school meals is credited to your child’s ParentPay account – no cash equivalent is available. You can apply for school meals during the school year if your circumstances have changed and you become entitled to these.
