Check with your local social welfare office, you might be entitled to back to education allowance. This works out at 188 a week for standard applicants. However since your a single parent you might get a different amount.

Btea applicants are also eligible to apply for rent allowance.

By getting btea you also can claim job seekers allowance during the summer months.
