The grant may be spent in the following ways:

  • support the quality of teaching, such as staff professional development;
  • provide targeted academic support, such as tutoring; and
  • tackle non-academic barriers to success in school, such as attendance, behaviour and social and emotional support.

The grant does not have to be completely spent by schools in the financial year beginning 1 April 2022; some or all of it may be carried forward to future financial years.
