Grants are available to organisations to help raise the standards of underperforming schools in England.
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) grant funding tests the impact of high-potential projects aiming to raise the attainment and wider outcomes of 3 – 18 year-olds, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
The EEF’s funding rounds will now focus on particular topics, and projects will be funded within selected themes under these topics.
For the Autumn 2022 grant funding round EEF are looking for applications for programmes that have some evidence of promise for this funding round in the three following research priority areas:
- Cognitive Science
- Early Language in the Early Years and Year
- Mathematics in the Early Years and Key Stage 1
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development in the Early Years (including self-regulation)
- Evidenced and scaled programmes.
These priority areas have been identified using existing EEF evidence reviews as having gaps in the evidence base and with the potential to benefit disadvantaged pupils and in consultation with stakeholders.
Eligible applicants are as follows:
- Registered charities.
- Not-for-profit organisations.
- Individual schools.
- Clusters of schools.
- Teacher groups.
- Universities.
- Colleges.
- Academy chains.
- Mutuals.
- Co-operatives
- Or any combination of the above.
There are no set minimum or maximum award amounts.
The deadline for applications to the autumn 2022 funding round is 30 November 2022.
