Purpose

In phase 3 of the School-based Nursery Capital Grant programme, Staffordshire County Council will be required to submit a three year proposal on behalf of schools to apply for capital funding to increase school-based nursery provision. Funding will then be allocated to SCC to deliver the project. In previous phases (1 and 2), applications were direct from schools to the DfE and funding was allocated directly to schools.
