If you're on a low income, you might be eligible to claim up to £200 towards this expense from your local council
The summer holidays are just around the corner, but the looming cost of school uniforms for September is already causing worry for thousands of parents.
However, research by The Children's Society suggests the cost is £422 per year for secondary school pupils and £287 for primary school pupils, the Mirror reports. Again, it's probable that you'll need to be on a low income, receiving benefits or getting free school meals to qualify for the support. If you're uncertain about your local council, input your postcode on GOV.UK.
The eligibility criteria differ among councils but again, in most instances, you need to be claiming free school meals or benefits. Most councils will accept applications from July until the end of March. If you live in Northern Ireland: Families in Northern Ireland can receive up to £93.60 towards the cost of school uniforms for secondary school students aged 15 or older as of August 1, 2024. For those in secondary school but under the age of 15, the rate is £87.60.
