Funding for Target Scholarships
The DfE has agreed funding for schools serving the most disadvantaged pupils within our region. This means that all NPQs are fully funded for those settings.
These settings are:
- In the top 50% of schools with the highest proportion of pupils who attract pupil premium funding;
- A 16 to 19 setting identified as having high disadvantage; or
- A highly disadvantaged early years setting
Eligibility: Saffron Teaching School Hub has alerted all eligible schools within our Hub area. If you are unsure of your eligibility, please contact us.
