What Core Learning will be developed if you receive a grant?
This might be how you
will develop the Skills for
Learning Life & Work in
your curriculum or how
you will embed the
Significant Aspects of
Learning in your lessons
leading to increased
personalisation and
choice for the learner.
This may also take into
consideration wider
achievement courses or
the development of
pathways for learners.
How will staff capacity be increased if you receive a grant?
This might consider the
impact of Career-Long
Professional Learning,
mentoring, collegiate
working and leadership
through learning for
example.
There should be some
consideration given to
how this will support
improvement plans on a
school, department or
personal level.
How will your project support or use national and/or local
priorities to inspire and enhance learning?
This could include
examples of how
Women’s Football World
Cup, Multi Sport Special
Olympics or the World
Walking Initiative have
inspired your project or
how a need identified
locally has helped to
inspire learning or the
development of a
particular skill set.
How will you measure the impact that your project has had and
will continue to have?
You will need to consider
how you will monitor and
measure the impact of your
project over the funding
period and beyond.
This might include:
Pupil voice
Parental voice
School QA
processes
Partner views
How will your project challenge inequality and help to ‘close the gap’
for learners in your school or associated school group?
You should consider the
following and highlight
how you intend to
address some or all of
these issues through
your project:
Living in the 20% most
deprived data zones
(SIMD)
Looked after children
Young carers
Children / young people
