At Antrim Primary School, we recognise that the cost of school meals and uniforms can place additional financial pressure on families. We want to ensure that all parents and carers are aware of the support that may be available to them.

The Education Authority (EA) provides financial assistance to eligible families through its Free School Meals and Uniform Grants scheme. This support is designed to help with the cost of school meals and school uniforms, ensuring that children have access to the resources they need throughout the school year.

Eligibility and Applications

Eligibility for Free School Meals and Uniform Grants depends on individual family circumstances, including household income and receipt of certain qualifying benefits.

Parents and carers are encouraged to visit the Education Authority website, where they can find the latest information about eligibility, application procedures, required documentation and important dates.

Please note that families are generally required to submit a new application each school year, even if they have previously received support.
