School Grants Update Spring 2026
Funding Opportunities for Enrichment and Learning
Schools are constantly juggling priorities, budgets, and big ambitions for their pupils. When funding is tight, enrichment activities are often the first thing to feel the squeeze, even though they can be the most inspiring.
To help, we’ve pulled together a Spring 2026 snapshot of current school grant opportunities, focusing on funding that supports hands-on learning, enrichment activities, workshops, and experiences that spark curiosity and confidence.
These grants are designed to help schools bring learning to life, particularly in STEM subjects, where practical experiences can ignite interest in ways the classroom alone sometimes can’t.

Why this matters
Enrichment funding doesn’t just support learning outcomes, it helps schools create memorable experiences that build confidence, teamwork, and curiosity. For many schools, these grants make the difference between an idea staying on paper and it becoming something pupils genuinely remember.
Whether you’re planning workshops, outdoor learning, science days, or wider enrichment projects, understanding what funding is available is a powerful starting point.
We’ve created a simple, downloadable School Grants Update Spring 2026 guide so you can quickly see what’s available and decide what might be right for your school.
