The Department for Education (DfE) fund is aimed at putting ‘character education on a par with academic learning’ and will support both new and existing projects.
The DfE has said that the fund will be open for applications from ‘early in 2015’, with all approaches to be considered, both in-school and out-of-school projects and initiatives. However, applicants will have to show evidence that their activities ‘result in better grades, improved behaviour or improved job prospects’.
At the same time, the DfE has also unveiled its new character education awards, which is offering 27 winning regional schools £15,000 each, with a further £20,000 for the national winner – £425,000 in total.
