PLEASE READ THESE GUIDELINES BEFORE COMPLETING OUR FORM.

We help with the cost for Lambeth pupils from low income households so that they may participate fully in school trips:
  • Grants may not be used to reduce the costs of the trip for every child but instead should be used to subsidise the costs of those for whom cost is genuinely a barrier to participation.
  • The School should ensure through its own budget (or other sources) that no child eligible to participate will be left behind because of inability to pay.
  • We only accept applications for children Key Stage 2 and above (i.e., Early Years and Key Stage 1 classes are ineligible to apply).
  • The school should be certain that those children who have chosen not to participate in the educational field trip have opted out for reasons other than financial concerns.
  • The school should have a stated policy that it is the school’s expectation that all eligible children participate in educational field trips and that these trips form part of the broader curriculum.
  • Schools should have a system where parents could begin paying in instalments well in advance of the educational field trip taking place if desired.
  • The costs of the trip should be reasonable.
  • Applications should be submitted at least one month before date of trip.
  • We can only award a bursary of up to 50% of the cost to Pupil Premium students, if discounted, or up to 50% of the actual cost a standard parent is paying (up to a maximum of £180 per Pupil Premium student). However, the average pay-out is around £120 per Pupil Premium and we will strongly take into consideration that trips be value-for-money.  The full bursary must be passed onto the Lambeth pupils eligible for Pupil Premium. 
    • EXAMPLE: A school is organising a 4 day trip that will cost the school £300 per pupil, but the cost for a Pupil Premium student will be £200.  The Foundation can then contribute up to 50% of this cost as a bursary for children eligible for Pupil Premium at the reduced rate.  In this example, the Foundation could pay up to a maximum of £100 towards the school trip.  The Pupil Premium parent would only pay £100.

    Please note, funding must be targeted at pupils on Free School Meals and low income families.
    As part of our criteria:
    • The School should have a stated policy to ensure through its own budget (or other sources) that no child eligible to participate will be left behind because of inability to pay.
    • The School should be certain that those children who have chosen not to participate in the educational field trip have opted out for reasons other than financial ones.









    Remember we look for assurance that no child is left behind for financial reasons
