Wiltshire: Help to shape Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) provision

 

If you have a child with special educational needs and or disabilities (SEND) or if they access alternative provision outside of mainstream schooling, we're inviting you to join online discussion groups as the next stage of helping to shape provision in Wiltshire.

These discussion groups, which are taking place next month, will form part of the SEND Inclusion and Alternative Provision Strategy (SENDIAP), with topics including preparing for the move from school to being an adult, support and advice and the voice of the child and their family.

Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust - Service Pupil support with new round of funding

 

Great news for schools supporting Service children in the UK! The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust (the Trust) has announced a new round of the Service Pupil Support Programme.

Part of the MOD’s Armed Forces Families Fund (AF3), the Service Pupil Support Programme will award grants of £5,000 to £80,000 to projects supporting Service children along their educational pathway.

What’s the programme all about?

This year, the Service Pupil Support Programme will focus on supporting schools working in collaborative clusters of three or more to design projects that meet one of three themes.
  • Closing the gap in attainment between Service and non-Service pupils.
  • Addressing the needs of Service pupils with additional needs.
  • Identifying and addressing the needs of small cohorts of Service pupils within educational settings.
In exceptional circumstances, schools can apply with a single bid, for instance if the number of your Service pupils is due to dramatically change.
