New funding for schools supporting Service children!
The Trust has been supporting Service children for over 150 years. They do this through grants to individuals and schools. School funding can be for anything that helps Service children to overcome any disadvantages resulting from their parent’s service. This could be relating to:
- Mobility, deployment and separation
- Gaps in learning
- Supporting mobile pupils with SEND
Applications will be considered in support of schools or groups of schools with Service children but could be School, Local Authority or University outreach led.
Previous grants have included funding for programmes such as:
- Transition support
- Running county-wide Festival of Friends projects
- Setting up a Service pupil support teacher
- Play therapy for a group of Service children
- Emotional support provision
- Support for SEND in a cluster of schools
Projects should be able to measure improvement and be self sustainable beyond the end of the grant.
This year, we have set our timescales to help schools start their programmes at the start of the Academic year in September 2025.
- Applications close 12th May
- Applicants will be notified by end June
Grants up to maximum of £50k for 1 year.
