As the winter is creeping closer and energy bills are set to soar, parents across Scotland can still get help with the cost of school clothing.
By getting in touch with their local council, parents can receive financial support for school clothing and footwear for the academic year 2022/23, as per Daily Record. The scheme is through the 'School Clothing Grant', and it's a cash payment worth at least £120 which is directly paid into your bank account.
Everyone who gets a School Clothing Grant will be given at least £120 per child of primary school age, and £150 secondary school age. Applications are open until the end of March 2023, with payments typically made before the new school year starts in August - though it can depend on the council.
