Details

The primary academy chain development grant is available to fund a 2-year chain development programme for new multi-academy trust (MAT) partnerships.

A one-off grant of £100,000 will be offered to chains of 3 schools creating a MAT. An extra £10,000 is available (subject to availability) for each additional school joining the MAT, up to a maximum of an additional £50,000.

Schools should read the terms and conditions and use the primary academy chain grant claim form to apply.

Schools with under 100 pupils can apply for an additional £5,000 and those with between 100 and 210 pupils can apply for £2,000. Use the small school supplement form to apply.
