The apprenticeship levy is there to fund training of your staff. The contribution is 0.5% of the school’s total salary expenditure. Which amounts to a large sum of money for training staff through accredited programmes and providers.
If your school has a wage bill of £3m or above, you are paying into the apprenticeship levy. Contributions started in April 2017. Your school may also pay the levy through your local authority if you are an LA-maintained school.
Schools and MATs can only spend this fund with an approved apprenticeship provider delivering approved training, which can range from entry level up to degree and even masters’ level qualifications. Apprenticeship programmes are available for both new and existing staff members.
Our team that deals with Apprenticeships is called Best Practice Network and the links below will take you to the information and application pages.
