The grant funding agreement is between the ITT provider or lead school, and DfE. It sets out how to treat the grant funding, along with the relevant funding manuals and DfE grant funding agreement: terms and conditions. ITT providers and lead schools will need to complete and return the relevant grant funding agreement if:
they are a new ITT provider or lead school for School Direct in the academic year 2021 to 2022
they did not receive grant funding in the academic year 2020 to 2021, such as training bursary, School Direct (salaried), postgraduate teaching apprenticeship or early years ITT
We will contact the relevant ITT providers and lead schools before the start of academic year 2021 to 2022. We will need to receive and accept the grant funding agreement before we release any grant funding. For more information, email GFA.ITTFunding@education.gov.uk.
