We’ve made the programme as accessible as possible to all schools by keeping costs to a minimum and working hard to secure corporate sponsorship. However, we know that school finances are more stretched than they have ever been and that you may require additional support. To this end we have sourced grants that you can apply for to help with the cost of Operation Spitfire 4 Schools. We’d be happy to support you in your applications.
These grants could be used towards the cost of the Operation Spitfire 4 Schools project:
Neon Futures offer £650 bursaries to secondary schools that meet the EUK Education priority schools criteria. Applications must be received in the Summer Term for the following academic year.
Schools wishing to study the Secondary curriculum could apply for a Digit <all> Meet and Code grant before 30th September for activities to be delivered before 31st October. Operation Spitfire 4 Schools would apply for this grant on your behalf.

With the support of UK Research and Innovation, CREST provide Engage funding to help UK schools in challenging circumstances run CREST Awards and activities with students who are underrepresented in STEM.
