Is your child receiving Free School Meals? Claim an access grant!
The Minister for Education and Welsh Language recently announced that the Pupil Development Grant Access scheme will be raised for one year only by £100 per learner eligible for free school meals. This applies to all compulsory year groups (R-Y11), Looked After Children and those who are classed as No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF).
Funding of up to £225 is available for each eligible learner with the exception of those in Year 7. Eligible learners in Year 7 will be entitled to a maximum of £300.
Pupils who receive Free School Meals due to transitional protection arrangements do not qualify for this funding.
Applications will be available online https://www.npt.gov.uk/1316 0r via paper from 5th July 2022
