Are you now eligible for school uniform grant?

Published: 01/09/2022

Following a recent change in direction from Welsh Government, local authorities on the border are now able to offer uniform grants to children living in Wales but attending school in England.

Unlike Wales, not all local authorities in England offer uniform grants.  This has put some families at a disadvantage if their children attend school in England.

From August this year, Welsh Government has now given Councils on the border with England, like Flintshire, the right to exercise discretion and allow payment to families, subject to them meeting the other eligibility criteria for the scheme.

If you think your family could be eligible for this grant, we would encourage you to apply at Uniform-Grants.
