Department for Education Platform Provisioning Programme
If your school does not currently have a digital environment in place that is designed to securely share content with students as well as provide a digital learning environment.
You can apply for a digital funding of up to £2,000 per school or up to £10,000 per MAT.
The Sweethaven team are on hand to advise and walk you through next steps for achieving funding and delivery.
Digital platforms can support:
Teachers’ ability to assign and assess work, providing feedback remotely
Students’ ability to access curriculum content and communicate digitally on any device that is connected to the internet.
In addition, when implemented effectively, these platforms enable:
Communication between staff, students and parent in real time
The option for pupils and teachers to collaborate on projects in real time
Google Platform Provisioning (Department for Education Platform Provisioning Programme)
On Friday 24th April, DfE announced new funding for enabling distance learning through digital platforms to help teachers and students stay connected remotely. The digital education platform programme aims to ensure that all schools can support remote learning through a safe and secure digital environment.
To support the DfE and the education community throughout continued COVID 19 related challenges, Sweethaven are collaborating with Google & Microsoft to support the Department in this initiative during these unprecedented times; providing advice, domain expertise and industry experience to play our part in helping pupils access remote learning and enabling all schools to achieve a minimum viable learning platform.
Schools without such a digital platform already in place that is designed to share content with students can now apply for government funding of up to £2,000 per school (or up to £10,000 per Multi Academy Trust) to enable setup of a digital education platform, set up to industry best practice, to support remote learning and enable schools to get advice on utilising learning platforms.
If your school does not already have such a platform, you can find out more information, check your eligibility and apply here: Digital Education platform hub.
