Esmee Fairbairn Foundation
The Foundation's Education programme covers two broad areas of interest: New approaches to education and hard-to-reach learners. They look to support imaginative and flexible approaches to learning that are unlikely to be funded through statutory education sources. Where appropriate, they will support the costs of professional and curriculum development, research and evaluation.
They will fund new approaches to education “ to improve the quality, breadth and relevance of learning for young people (0-16) in pre-school and statutory education by testing new approaches to teaching and learning”.
In this category, they will only consider work that is likely to have a lasting influence on education policy and / or practice at a regional or national level.
