Here is a round-up of the primary awards granted so far in the spring term of 2023. Each successful application has to satisfy our award criteria which you can find here. We wish all the schools every success with their wonderful projects and are very pleased to have helped them "make a big difference with a little money".
Please Note: The Effective/Outdoor Learning criteria has been split into Outdoor Learning and Learning to Learn from January 2023 so some of the past E/OL awards may not pass under the new category.
