Families whose P1-P5 children receive free school meals as part of the universal scheme, and families whose children receive free school meals as part of the Scottish Child Payment scheme, are not eligible for these payments.

If your child currently attends primary school (including P7 leavers), you will receive £76.50 per child, which is 30 days at £2.55 per week day.

If your child currently attends secondary school, you will receive £87.00 per child, which is 30 days at £2.90 per week day.

Moray Council will make direct payment into bank accounts on Tuesday 7 July 2026. If you have changed your bank details since you received the last support payment please contact [email protected]

If your financial circumstances have changed recently this could make your child eligible for free school meals.
