It is not the child who applies, it is the parent.

Child benefit in your name.

Anything else you MIGHT qualify for depends on your combined income.

You will need to work it out yourself.

Note that it is now Universal Credit.

Child Tax Credits has ended and has been replaced by Universal Credit. Universal Credit has different rules and requirements.

Exitising claimants will be mored onto Universal Credit (if they qualify for it) from next month.
