Targeted Support Funding for Small Schools

In addition to the full scholarship funding for all state-maintained schools and academies, the DfE have announced additional payments to small schools to enable them to support their teachers and leaders to undertake NPQs. This ‘Targeted Support Fund’ will give a grant payment of £200 per participant to settings with 1-600 pupils, for each teacher or leader they employ who participates in an NPQ.
