Supporting engagement in education
Supporting engagement in education
In this programme, we are seeking applications on any topic related to supporting the active engagement of young people in education. You can find out more in this programme brief.
Applications are currently closed. We will re-open on 2 September 2025. You can sign up for application alerts at the bottom of this page.
Who should apply?
We are particularly interested in projects that explore:
- Initiatives fostering collaborative support between everybody involved in a young person's learning journey (including, but not limited to, parents, carers, governors, teachers, teaching assistants, pastoral care providers, local authority education services, and professionals from sectors outside education that impact young people's education).
- Equitable assessment practices (and associated pedagogy and curriculum): Projects that challenge traditional assessment models to ensure they are inclusive and equitable by design in evaluating learning outcomes.
- Innovative approaches that bridge the gap between education and the workforce. This includes initiatives equipping learners with the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed for future careers.
Examples of previous Fellowships
Fellows awarded in previous years have carried out projects in this area. Watch Andrea Duxbury’s short Changemaker video below, sharing insights from her Fellowship. You can also explore impact stories on Our Impact page.
Advisory Council Members Phil Avery and Anna Morrison explain how you can contribute to this opportunity to shape the future of education. Read their blog for more.
