Ukrainian pupils - Refugee grant claims, Final deadlines and EAL CPD offer

The deadline to claim refugee grant funding for Ukrainian pupils on the Homes for Ukraine scheme is 31 May 2023 for most schools. We highly recommend that schools use funding to access EAL CPD.

If you welcomed refugee pupils into your school and they have been in school 3 terms or less, you are still able to claim refugee grant funding of £800.00 per term. The deadline for this term is 31 May 2023. The deadline for claims ending in the summer term is 31 August. Please remember to read the full guidance attached before submitting claim. For advice regarding refugee grant funding claims, please contact Lisa Reynolds lisa.reynolds@norfolk.gov.uk

Funding can be used to access CPD in EAL and we are offering the following courses in the summer and autumn terms. These have been very well received this year.
