Financial support with paying for school uniforms

Each school has its own uniform policy which is decided by the school's governing body and information about this can normally be found in the school's handbook or on their website.

Disabled students' allowances

Disabled students' allowances help pay for extra costs students may have to pay when studying in higher education, as a direct result of their disability or specific learning difficulty.

Free school meals and extra support for your child

If you get certain welfare benefits, you can apply for free school meals for your child.

Higher education student loan
