Grant Scheme

The Howard Duncan Project Grant

QTR offers schools that have used our services for 25 days or more during the academic year the opportunity to apply for a Howard Duncan Project Grant of up to £600.
This grant supports projects which directly assist children, are child-focused and fun.
The Howard Duncan Project Grant has rewarded a wide variety of projects, including funding for material and tools to develop a garden club, art and crafts projects, a cob oven for cooking while camping, musical instruments for a samba club, choral performances, and tools for an eco-club.
If you are interested in finding out more about the Howard Duncan Project Fund, or have a project you would like to submit, please call Rachel on 01379 651140

The small print:
 As far as possible, projects should not be directly linked to the National Curriculum, Priority will be given to out-of-school hours projects and schools that received less than £600 from the grant in the previous academic year. We are unlikely to award grant funding for items that have already been purchased and are in use. When assessing your application, previous prompt payment of invoices will be considered.

Case Studies

Quality Teacher Recruitment Ltd Provides Grants to Hempnall Primary School


Quality Teacher Recruitment Ltd (QTR) has provided two grants to Hempnall Primary School to assist with their Formula Goblin entry in 2017, and with their outdoor learning Forest School in 2019.

 

Hempnall Primary School decided to enter the Formula Goblin race in Coltishall which is a project designed to inspire children in the field of engineering, technology and science. The students built their very own fully functioning clean energy electrical kart, for which QTR provided funding for the safety helmets and overalls. The school, along with their paired school Shelton with Hardwick, have entered for three years now, winning at least one prize each time. This year however, they did fantastically, winning three out of four titles including best portfolio and winners in the slalom category!

 

After successfully applying for another grant this year, QTR was delighted to assist Hempnall Primary School in funding for their Forest School. The Forest School provides the students with an amazing outdoor learning opportunity, all year round, in all weathers. The children take part in a huge variety of activities including den building, whittling, cooking over fire pits (hot chocolate and toasting marshmallows in the cooler months are a firm favourite!), gardening, and learning about wildlife and the outdoors. The children also have the shelter of an art barn for further learning opportunities. The grant this year will go towards equipment for Zoe, the Forest School teacher, enabling her to provide more exciting activities for the children.

 

The grants QTR is able to provide are at the very heart of the business and it’s core values. The company firmly believes that children learn most effectively through fun and engaging activities, and fantastic projects, like those at Hempnall Primary School, are the very reason the grant exists.
