This form aims to help organisations to quickly understand if they are eligible for this grant round.

Declaration

Only Charites and Social Enterprises are eligible for this fund.

Only organisations registered in the UK can apply for this fund.

Elements of your work may take place in other countries, but over 50% of your work with young people must take place in England.
Your programme

Only organisations and/or programmes focused on attainment outcomes are eligible for this fund.

Only organisations working with at least 250 teachers and/or 100 school leaders year through their attainment work are eligible for this fund.

Organisations with a programme using direct delivery only (working solely with young people through any combination of one-to-one, classroom-based, or out-of-classroom delivery) are not eligible.

• The young people your programme seeks to support can be any age between 7 – 18 for your programme to be eligible – you do not have to work with the entire age range.
• We define disadvantage as 1. Young people eligible for pupil premium, i.e. children eligible for Free School Meals or who have been eligible at any point in the previous six years (Ever 6 FSM); 2. Looked After Children (LAC) and children who have been adopted or fostered from care (post-LAC). You may have other similar definitions of disadvantage that we’ll ask you to describe in the EOI.

If organisations or programmes have a subject-specific focus, this must be on English or maths. Organisations working to improve teaching or leadership practice are equally eligible.
Finances and capacity

Only organisations with an income greater than £500k in the last financial year are eligible to apply.

Only organisations with 10 FTEs or more are eligible to apply.
