How much is it?

The grant amount is:

  • £200 for children in year 7, and
  • £125 for children in all other years.

You can apply from 1 July 2024 to 31 May 2025.

If you received the School Essentials Grant last year and continue to be eligible, we expect your automated payment to be made mid-July. If you do not receive this payment there may be an issue with your eligibility.

You can use the grant to pay for:

  • school uniforms and footwear,
  • sports equipment and kit,
  • school activities, including musical lessons, school trips and after school clubs,
  • classroom essentials, including pens, pencils and school bags,
  • laptop or tablet if you cannot loan it from the school.

Please note that this is different to those who receive free school meals under the Welsh Government Universal Primary Free School Meals Scheme, which provides free school meals to all Primary school students in Pembrokeshire from September 2024. Even if your child receives Universal Primary Free School Meals, you should apply for free school meals if you meet the eligibility criteria for the School Essentials Grant.

  • Employment and Support Allowance (income based),
