Free Or Partially Funded School-Aged Childcare

Current Families receiving support

The Scottish Government is continuing with its plan to develop a system of School-Aged Childcare (SAC) that will be available and affordable for all eligible families and free for the most vulnerable.

Glasgow City Council's Education Department received a grant from the Scottish Government to support the costs of School Aged Childcare for low-income families who were attending identified Early Adopter Services within Ward Areas, Drumchapel Anniesland, East Centre , Southside Central and Calton from 1st April 23 to 31st March 24.

We are pleased to advise that we can extend this funded support in the interim until the schools return on the 14 August 2024 to existing families already receiving support, if they meet at least one of the Key Priority Family Indicators and also the set low-income criteria.

If you would like to be considered for the continuation of this funded support, we require you to complete an updated application form.

We have attached the updated application form to this communication. Once complete please return it to: [redacted] or your School Aged Childcare Provider.

If you would like to discuss your application, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with the Team by either emailing: [redacted] or call [redacted].
