University technical colleges (UTCs) expenditure

Details

The Department for Education gives free school and studio school trusts:

  • a project development grant to cover all revenue expenditure, up to the point at which it opens, is cancelled, or withdrawn
  • a post-opening grant for the extra costs of establishing the school which cannot be met through the school’s usual funding as they increase their capacity

Information about capital funding for free schools and studio schools is also available.
