Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Culture, Media and Sport)
DCMS, in partnership with DfE, will invest £22.5 million over 3 years to enable up to 400 schools across England to deliver a youth-voice led, tailored enrichment offer. This funding will help schools meet the Enrichment Framework benchmarks and ensure disadvantaged pupils have access to good enrichment activities, supporting their wellbeing, personal development, and life skills.
Learnings from the evaluation of the Enrichment Partnerships Pilot, as well as the feedback received from representatives across the enrichment sector, are informing the design and development of the Enrichment Expansion Programme.
