Deadline 16th December 2022
The TCaF provides grants to help trusts develop their capacity to grow. It has a particular focus on supporting strong trusts, and strong schools forming trusts, to take on underperforming schools in education investment areas (EIAs).
An £86 million grants programme to support trust growth and development across England has opened a new application round.
For this funding round, TCaF will have three strands:
- A: For projects in which trusts will take on at least one additional inadequate or requires improvement school from one of the areas listed in the guidance
- B: For projects in which a trust takes on either at least one inadequate or requires improvement school outside of an EIA or any school within an EIA
- C: For trusts taking on good or outstanding schools outside of an EIA.
Academy trusts or local authority maintained schools in England are eligible to apply.
