Guest Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Hi All, I am thinking of undertaking this course in Sept 2009 - I kinow I have read somewhere that settings can claim some monies re allowing staff member off to college study time etc etc - is this in respect of the Foundation Degree Sector Endorsed or does it only apply once you have got your degree and then go on to gain EYPS ? Thanks Dot
HappyMaz Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Your best bet is to talk to your Local Authority about what bursaries are available and what their Graduate Leader Fund covers in your area! Maz
Guest Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Hi Maz - and thanks - could not remember the name of the fund -
Upsy Daisy Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Ours doled out some cover money from a budget surplus at the end of the financial year.
Guest Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 our LA gave my setting a rather good amount of pennies the majority of which was kindly passed onto me for study leave/cover and travel expenses... Uni also gave students a bursary which enabled me to buy a laptop last year and go volunteering in August As others say speak to your LA/ EYA as the amount does vary from LA to LA When doing EYPS money then comes direct from CWDC rather than LA (think that's what my CCAT said last week)
Deb Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 I'm doing the Foundation Degree through the Open University. In my LEA they pay the course fees, there's a bursary each year (cannot remember how much) plus you can claim £500 study leave each year which is paid to the setting.
