Good News for Small Schools - Is your school less than 600 pupils? Then you can get ADDITIONAL Support Funding to retain and train your staff. In addition to the full scholarship funding for all state-maintained schools and academies, the DfE are providing additional payments to small schools to help support your leaders to undertake NPQs.
We know that smaller schools often don’t have the resources to promote top talent, but we know that staff value your commitment to their progression and training and that this can help retention. So an ideal qualification to consider is the NPQSL for those aspirant senior leaders who offer so much to your school.
This ‘Targeted Support Fund’ will give a grant payment of £200 to settings with 1-600 pupils, for each employed teacher or leader who participates in an NPQ. This is funding that you can use in any way to make engagement more possible, e.g. cover costs.
Teacher Training - Huge congratulations to the Teacher Training institutions in the West Midlands who have been reaccredited to continue building teacher training provision locally – Click here for the full National List. This includes Strategic Partners of the TSH and you can find out more about their provision here.
National Professional Qualifications - The next cohorts of NPQs are recruiting fast and the application deadline for February 2023 is January 12th. All programme are fully funded - All teachers and leaders employed in state funded schools in England can access these National Professional Qualifications at no cost.

The National Centre for Computing Education has new DFE funding for STEM Learning.
All CPD courses are now FREE for state-funded schools. This includes all full day and short courses both face to face and remote – click to see 2023 schedules – Summer Computing Secondary and Summer Computing Primary.
Plus there are additional subsidies for attendance at CPD
Subsidies of £205 are available for the first teacher to attend a full day primary course from a school located in an EIA area to support with supply costs (This includes Wolverhampton and Walsall Schools). This subsidy is available for the summer term regardless of if a subsidy has been used this academic year and will then be available once every academic year moving forward.
Subsidies for secondary courses are available to provide two days supply cover (£205 per day) for teachers to attend the Computer Science Accelerator (CSA) CPD, helping to develop teachers’ subject knowledge and skills without impacting pupils' lessons. This support is available to state-funded secondary schools and colleges in England.
-----------------------------------------
Utilising recommendations from the recent Ofsted science report “Finding the optimum” our local Science Hub is providing CPD on:
- Curriculum - A series of summer conferences for primary, secondary and technicians will help staff from schools to develop their understanding and skills in delivering effective practical work in schools and the implications for their wider team.
- Pedagogy and assessment – Sessions on Making Powerful Connections to Maths and Literacy in the Science Curriculum (15/5/23) and Key Stage 3 Science for Non-Science Specialists (23/6/23)
- Systems, subject and school level - Remote networks ensure staff at every level have access to subject support and development, these can be bespoke for groups local to your area if needed.
