The Education Endowment Foundation

The Education Endowment Foundation, in partnership with the Youth Endowment Fund, is making funding available to schools, charities, and other organisations with initiatives that could improve attendance and reduce exclusions amongst pupils aged 5- to 18-years in England and Wales. The Foundation is keen to fund and evaluate trials of approaches in several priority areas, including anti-bullying, social and emotional learning, and targeted family engagement, which reduces absenteeism amongst disadvantaged and vulnerable children, improving their academic attainment and keeping them safe from involvement in violence and crime.

The deadline for applications is the 16th May 2022.
