16-19 Tuition Funding

The 16-19 Tuition Funding is designed to help support young people who face financial barriers to continuing in education and training after the age of 16. It is to be used to support the costs of transport, books and equipment.

The payment can be claimed by pupils identifying educational resources/support that they require and then completing a Clarendon Academy purchase order.  This must be verified by Mrs Maidment and the school will then place the order.
