Education Endowment Foundation:Accelerator Fund

Accelerator Fund

Building the pipeline of evidence-informed programmes.

From 2021 – 2025, we’ll be supporting more schools, colleges, and nurseries to access evidence-based programmes through the Department for Education’s Accelerator Fund.

The Accelerator Fund is part of the Government’s investment in education recovery and is focused on literacy and numeracy programmes.

Settings in England can take part in evidence-based programmes – funded through the Accelerator Fund – at all stages of their development. These include:

  • Trials of innovative approaches that show promise in raising pupil attainment.
  • Scale-up of programmes that have been proven in an EEF trial to raise pupil attainment.
