Funding

Funding to maintained schools for NQT Induction is a contribution to the costs borne by the school in providing induction, e.g. the cost of  NQTs/Tutors attending courses and providing cover for them during non-contact time, meetings or courses.  It is not a ‘pot’ of money for an NQT to spend as they wish.

Hampshire allocates the funding according to numbers of NQTs employed at each school.  The funding is authorised by EPS but paid by External Funding, Education Finance.  

At the beginning of the Spring term EPS send to finance a list of all current and registered NQT's. Finance then use this list to calculate the total funding the school will receive for the year. Part time NQT's are funded on a pro-rata basis. Schools will receive one payment in April for that financial year.
