During October Holidays

If your child receives free school meals based on benefit entitlement, you will get a payment of £27.50 per child (£2.75 per day) for the October holidays.

Payment will be made into your bank account on Wednesday 7th October.

There's no need to apply separately.

If they are in Primary 6 or 7 and receiving free school meals based on the Scottish Child Payment, or in P1-5 receiving free meals based on the universal provision, you will not receive this payment.
