The confirmation of the total grant follows the publication of the Schools White Paper in March 2022, which confirmed that the EEF would be re-endowed.
The DfE also confirmed the EEF will continue its work widening access to evidence-informed programmes through the Accelerator Fund over the next three years. This includes providing direct support to schools by scaling up effective programmes and making them available to a larger number of schools at a subsidised rate.

This will include working as the evidence partner for the Early Years Stronger Practice Hubs programme, which is due to launch in November 2022.
