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 for the 2021 school year are now available. Electronic applications are available here. There is also a printable version on this page, and paper copies are available upon request.
Term starts Friday, 3rd September 2021, to ensure that you have received your grant and collected your uniform before then we recommend submitting your uniform grant at least a couple of weeks before term starts. For parents and carers who are not in receipt of Income Support, rent & interest on mortgages will need to be submitted alongside the application form. If you have any questions, you can contact the Income Support team on 222508 or email incomesupport@gov.gg
