The Uniform Grant is a means tested benefit, issued annually, intended to assist you in providing a basic school uniform for your children. The amount of grant you receive is calculated with reference to your annual household income and allowed expenses.
Uniform grants applications for the 2022-2023 school year are now available. Electronic applications are available here, there is also a printable version available on this page..
