Scottish School Clothing Grants — 2026 Comparison
The Scottish Government and COSLA agreed a national minimum of £120 per primary pupil and £150 per secondary pupil each year, paid by your council to families on qualifying benefits. Roughly half of councils top the minimum up. Rates below show the per-council figure with a verification badge: a green tick means we’ve confirmed it against the council’s own published rate; a grey dash means the council hasn’t published a higher figure for April 2026 and we show the national minimum. When the grant is paid, who qualifies and how to apply are in our school clothing grant guide.
