Pupil Support and Benefits All children in England between the ages of five and 16 are entitled to a free place at a state school. Depending on your circumstances, extra help might be available for the costs of school meals, uniform or transport.
Free school meals
If you receive income support, jobseekers allowance or certain other benefits, your child could be entitled to free school meals.
Clothing grants
Families who are on benefits or on low income could be entitled to clothing grants to assist with the cost of school clothing.
Free school transport
Getting a child to school on time and safely can be a challenge. In some cases children are eligible for free school transport.
For information on benefits and grants for sixth form and further education students, including education maintenance allowances (EMA), dance and drama awards, student loans, and disability students' allowances visit the  Directgov website.
