Help with the cost of education

If your family lives in Hertfordshire and has a low income, you may be able to get help with the cost of full-time education for your child.

You may be able to get:

• Free school meals
• Help with travel costs
• Help with music fees
• Help with cycle training

You must apply for this help some time in the three months before your child starts school.
