School Clothing Grants
If your child/ren attends a primary, special or secondary school managed by Clackmannanshire Council you may qualify for a school clothing grant. School clothing grants will not be paid to children attending nursery schools, nursery classes or other pre-five centres. To qualify for a school clothing grant you must be in receipt of Child Benefit and one of the following benefits:
- Income Support
- Income-based Job Seekers Allowance
- Income-based Employment and Support Allowance
- Maximum Working Tax Credit and Maximum Child Tax Credit with an income below £6,420
- Child Tax Credit where NO Working Tax Credit is payable and income is less than £15,860 (as assessed by Inland Revenue)
- An asylum seeker in receipt of support under part VI of the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999
An application form is available from all schools, local CAP offices and reception staff in Kilncraigs, Greenfield and Lime Tree House. You can also view or download a Clothing Grant/Free School Meals application form from this page.
On completion, the form should be taken to your local CAP Office or Kilncraigs for verification. Application forms will only be accepted in person at Kilncraigs between the hours of 10am to 12 noon and 2pm to 4pm. When submitting an application form, proof of income will be required (refer to the notes section of the application form).
Please note grants will no longer be paid by cheque. School clothing grants will only be paid directly into the applicants bank account, or a member of the immediate family residing at the same address. Payments cannot be paid directly into a Post Office Account.
Pupils who are eligible for an Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) are not eligible for a school clothing grant.
Applications for school clothing grants for the 2011/12 academic session can be made until 31 December 2011 and are only awarded once per school year.
