Uniform grants for Primary school ?

Hi, can you get a clothing grant for children in primary school ?,or is it just for high school. Thanks.(south eastern board)

Yes you can, we had the letter sent home about it a few weeks ago. I think it was only if you were on mean tested benefits or child tax credit but not working tax credit.

I have been told that if you get any means tested benefits(i.e Income Support/child tax credits )you may get a Grant,ask your local primary school.Dont forget to get your forms for your free meals also.ASAP,school's are breaking up for the holidays,but staff will be there for any worries etc.

Hope this helps someone.

I read it that if you are entitled to free school meals, you are also entitled to uniform grants. £35 for primary (not nursery).
