Support Staff Funding
In an attempt to use the funding stream for support staff development more effectively, we are proposing to match fund the cost, for individual schools, of creating development activities for their support staff.
How to apply:
Step 1 - complete form " Apply for Funding"
Step 2 - complete form "Claim funding after event" ( once event has taken place).
If claiming funding in retrospect of an event both forms still need to be submitted.
