In recognition of the extreme pressures facing many families, and the subsequent rise in eFSM, the Welsh Government are extending the grant for additional years for this academic year, namely, Years 2, 4 and 6, at a rate of £125 per learner. The rationale for extending to these particular years being that the grant is now available to all school years.

School sports kit including footwear;

Uniform for enrichment activities, including but not limited to, scouts; guides; cadets; martial arts; sports; performing arts or dance;

Equipment e.g. school bags and stationery;

Specialist equipment where new curriculum activities begin such as design and technology; and

Equipment for out of school hour's trips such as outdoor learning e.g. waterproofs.

IT equipment - laptops and tablets only. You will need to confirm that your child's school cannot loan them a laptop/table for use at home.

Funding of up to £125 is available to each eligible child, with the exception of those in Year 7 who are entitled to £200.

Who is eligible?

Funding is available to pupils who are eligible for Free School Meals entering the following school years for the current academic year (2021/2022):

The railway crosses two impressive viaducts at Knucklas and at Cynghordy and goes through six tunnels, including one on the magnificent run up to Sugar Loaf. Over 30 stations are served by the line, some of which are request stops.

Trains along the Heart of Wales Line call at all stations linked to the fantastic new long distance walking trail. If you love walking, why not hop on a train and walk from one station to the next along the Heart of Wales Line Trail!

The Heart of Wales Line runs through dramatic scenery of mountains, forests, wild rivers, green meadows and pretty towns and villages across Shropshire, Powys, Carmarthenshire and the City and County of Swansea. There is a limited but regular train service along the line operated by Transport for Wales.

We are looking forward to a much improved service in 2022/23. A big thank you to all those who have been campaigning for these improvements.
