Course Description

Introduction

School budgets have always been limited but there are currently so many demands on our funding levels that schools are often fortunate if they can break even. This has the consequence that plans for improvement are curtailed because there are no funds to meet the costs of developing new resources, people, or spaces within the school. Consultants will work with school leaders to identify project aims and clarify the rationale that sits beneath a project. They will support the school in sourcing grant funding and look at the successful outcomes of an adequately funded project.

Rationale

We understand that being resourceful in challenging financial times is a growing necessity of the skillset for school leaders. We are also mindful of the need to support busy school leaders to find the right bid for the setting, including planning, researching and writing a high-quality bid.

These sessions are suitable for:

School leaders including headteachers, school business managers, bursars and other school leaders looking for support in developing their knowledge of how to be successful in sourcing external funding and for practical assistance in the grant application process.

Supporting Capacity

Our consultants have experienced success in attracting grants of more than £1 million into their schools. We will work with leaders to identify the quantum of funding required to enable a project to proceed, identify sources of funding relevant to a planned project, clarify the key aspects of a grant application, support with gathering evidence and support leaders to complete grant applications.

Been having first aid training for 13 years. This was the best one I've attended. Far more informative and covered more likely scenarios that would happen in the school setting
