SUPPORTING FAIR EDUCATION ALLIANCE MEMBERS TO SCALE THEIR IMPACTFUL SOLUTIONS
In many cases, we know what works to improve children’s outcomes, but struggle with how to get these solutions to the schools, communities and children who need them most. At the end of their GCSEs, disadvantaged students in Blackpool, Derby and Sheffield are almost two years further behind than their disadvantaged peers in many London boroughs.
Many proven, impactful solutions are run by FEA members who have the appetite to scale but face critical challenges in doing so. These include maintaining high quality delivery at scale, having the right operations and governance, and having specialist local knowledge.
Calling for applications:
We are now receiving applications to join a small cohort of established, impactful organisations who we will support to scale through our two-year programme.
