At Oystermouth Primary School, we understand that managing school costs can be a concern for families. The Welsh Government provides support to help with school-related expenses, which can benefit your child and also increase funding for our school.
All primary school children in Wales are now entitled to Universal Free School Meals. However, we encourage parents to check their eligibility for additional support, including the School Essentials Grant. Even if your child already receives free school meals, this grant could provide extra financial help with essential school expenses.
If eligible, your child could receive up to £200 to help cover:
When you register for Free School Meals and the School Essentials Grant, Oystermouth Primary School will also benefit from additional funding through the Pupil Development Grant. This grant provides valuable resources for our school, supporting educational programmes, additional learning resources, and enrichment activities for all pupils.
To learn more about eligibility and how to apply, please visit the Welsh Government website for full guidance. By claiming what’s available, you can ease school-related costs and contribute to the funding that benefits all pupils at Oystermouth Primary School.
