(2)

Subject to and in accordance with this paragraph, the school shall, in the cases mentioned in sub-paragraphs (3) and (4), pay a clothing grant to the parents of a pupil holding an aided place thereat in respect of their clothing expenditure.

(3)

Unless an aided pupil has been a pupil at the school before taking up an aided place, in a pupil’s first year at the school clothing grant shall be payable in the case of an aided pupil as respects whom the relevant income does not exceed £10,873 and in such case the grant shall be of an amount equal to so much of the clothing expenditure as does not exceed—
