Enhanced Programme Fund Guidelines
Schools that had a disproportionate number of students with moderate special education needs were eligible to apply for a supplementary grant called the Enhanced Programme Fund (EPF).
These students were not to be receiving targeted funding support from any other source and schools had to demonstrate that these students had been identified and some intervention arranged prior to application.
The EPF was a supplementary grant which applied to a group programme, not to an individiual student. Where there was a number of students in a cluster who met the criteria, the cluster could make application to the EPF.
The EPF Guidelines are available for download on this page.
Please note:
- In December 2009 the Government decided to reprioritise the use of The Enhanced Programme Fund (EPF) to support the implementation of the Positive Behaviour for Learning Action Plan. As a result, no further applications or agreements will be made for EPF.
- Schools or clusters that are currently receiving EPF will continue to receive their funding until the end of their agreements and the current reporting requirements will remain the same.
