Accessing funding - Scholarship funding / Apprenticeship Levy

If you would like to access one of the NPQs that are not fully funded, your school will need to meet the eligibility criteria which is that it is placed in the top 50% of publicly funded schools that have the highest proportion of students attracting pupil premium. Check you school’s eligibility here.

If you are eligible to apply, please notify sflight@kcsp.org.uk if you are successful in securing a place so that the Trust has a record of NPQs being completed.

If your school does not meet the eligibility criteria, but the funding of the NPQ is covered by the apprenticeship levy, you can apply to Trust for funding by completing a short application form, which you can access here. Please send your completed form to sflight@kcsp.org.uk who will then process your application and confirm funding and next steps on how to apply.
