The Partnership Fund

The Partnership Fund is designed to help schools which can demonstrate that, in spite of their determined efforts over time, they have not be been able to raise the sponsorship necessary to apply for specialist school status.

The fund is being administered by the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust in accordance with DCSF guidelines.

The deadlines for grants to support October or March applications are the preceding 31 July and 31 December respectively. An updated guidance and application form is now available from the panel on the right hand side of this page.
