All Saints Educational Trust
Eligibility For A Programme Award
1. The Trust's Priorities
We fund programmes that support those intending to teach, or those who are already practising teachers of Religious Education; Home Economics (including food and textiles education).
This support can include the provision of training, mentoring and coaching, including face to face and online continuing professional development to meet our primary goal of helping teachers become better teachers.
Programmes should be well researched and have the potential for lasting benefits, either through the intrinsic quality of the new ideas being put forward, or through the quantity of training or resources, and the numbers of teachers and/or pupils who will share in the benefit.
Programme award applications will be scrutinised carefully to ensure that they are sustainable, give value for money and deliver our mission.
2. What we fund
Awards are normally made to fund time-limited, targeted projects and not to augment the general funds of recipient institutions.
It is not usual for the Trust to directly fund salaries. The cost of staff in relation to a specific programme may be considered as part of the overall programme management costs.
3. Duration
Programme Awards can be made for up to three years.
The continuation of awards beyond a year is conditional upon evidence of satisfactory progress being submitted to the Committee.
Proposals will scrutinised carefully to ensure that planned outcomes can be met, are sustainable, give value for money and deliver our mission.
A Link Trustee will be appointed who will liaise and monitor progress throughout.
