Fleshing out a simple idea that arrived today.
After reading the second article in as many days about how schools & parents are struggling with the current….
‘Adventure Grant’
Teachers can apply for a grant for any of their pupils who are struggling to pay for the trip.
- They can apply for 5% of the total number of kids on the trip IE a trip of 40, up to 2 kids could get the grant
- Grants cover up to 50% of the trip.
- Simple application procedure – teachers just email me and explain the situation.
I like the simplicity and ease of implementation.
I trust teachers not to take advantage of it.
I hate the idea of 1 or 2 pupils missing out when the rest of their peers are away with us.
All grant will be anonymously made public for transparency
Is it better to offer 1 100% or 2 50% grants?
Are there more effective way to spend the money to fo more ‘good’?
