Funding Support

Our experience working with schools means that we understand that budgets can be tight.

However, there is a range of funding opportunities to help support your school. These can be general grants or specific to outdoor learning, educational residentials and curriculum subjects such as science and maths.

To help you we've compiled a list of orgainsations that can provide more information about funding opportunities. It doesn’t include every source of funding but hopefully provides a starting point for helping you secure additional resources. Don't forget to sign up to our monthly newsletter where in Teacher-Talk we highlight up-coming pots of money.

Read here for some top tips!

Good luck and please let us know how you get on and if we can help in any way.
