The Shine Trust is making £150,000 available to invest in early stage ideas, and will be looking to award up to 10 new grants dependant on grant size.
As well as funding, SHINE offers winning teachers’ free access to a broad range of development workshops and coaching opportunities – helping teachers to get the best out of their ideas.
