According to the list it shows my council (Rotherham) as giving £30 to schools but I can't find anything about that on the councils website so I'm wondering where you got the information from so that I can refer to it. Thanks.

Hi Beki88,

The scheme is listed on Rotherham's website here: Help with school uniform costs.

The website doesn't list the amount, but when we asked the council in July, it told us: "To answer your enquiry, school uniform payments are worth £30 per child."

Hope this helps,
