If you still need assistance, you can email DCYP-MOD-ESF-Mailbox@mod.gov.uk and your query will be redirected to the Service Children in State Schools National Executive Advisory Committee (SCISS NEAC).

Since the inception of the ESF, SCISS NEAC members have helped evaluate applications and some members have previously secured funding; they may be able to offer additional advice.

Case studies

ESF case studies shows studies of 3 schools that previously received funding from the ESF to enable the schools to purchase:

  • e-book subscriptions
  • reading schemes
  • books and literacy resources to support service pupils, their families and the whole school community
  • funding for a Literacy and Numeracy Support Assistant and an Emotional Literacy Support Assistant

Funding was awarded toward the creation of a Nurture Room at Kinloss Primary School and for staffing of the Fusion’s Team who support children across the Associated School Group.
