Grants for Teachers

A grant, of up to £5,000, covers the cost of travel, accommodation, materials and supply cover if necessary.

All proposed projects will be considered by a selection panel drawn from the Goldsmiths’ Company’s Education Committee.

What the programme is looking for:

• An original project that will enhance the applicant’s teaching career and benefit his / her students on completion
• A project that has a long-term aim of disseminating results / research back to the school and / or a wider audience
• A project that is planned and well thought out
• A project that presents an individual challenge to the applicant.

What the programme will not support:

• CPD type courses that fall within the school’s normal expenditure
• Continuation of an existing project that has run out of money
• Travel for the sake of it or group travel
• Attendance on a course and nothing else
• A grant for Higher Education
• Academic research – thesis or dissertation material
• Teaching abroad
• School exchange programmes or school twinning – particularly if it only benefits a remote school.

• Applicants should have a minimum of three years’ practical teaching experience in the UK
• Projects may be undertaken between December 2019 and December 2020
• Applicants must include a reference from their Headteacher (or chair of governors where the applicant is a Headteacher)
