Eligible Organisations

The grants are offered to state secondary or middle schools, across the UK, with priority given to non-church state secondary schools, and is currently available to state-funded schools in England and Wales. While occasional grants may be made to primary schools, none are available at present due to high demand.

Application Process

The application process is online, with the form taking just 10–15 minutes to complete. Applications can be submitted at any time, though schools are advised to read the grant criteria and FAQs before applying.

Important Dates

There are no specific deadline dates stated, so you need to check the website frequently for notice of new grants for the secondary school grants. Primary school applications are paused until at least the Spring Term 2026.

Funding Range

Up to £600 is available.
