You may be entitled to Education Maintenance Allowance (also known as Adult Learning Grant). A weekly payment (£30, £20, or £10) based on your household income.
More information here:

As you're 18, you will probably receive EMA.

EDIT:

Oh, you're studying part time. You probably won't be entitled to either of them then.

Dam only 18 and moving out? Where did you move from?

Idd, you have to be doing full time for EMA.

Your best bet is to go to your local jobcentre, they CAN tell you what you are entilted to.

You would probably be better off going to your local Connexions centre. They're great at giving advice to students and will have all of the forms and documents you need at hand.
