Turing Scheme: Schools

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she is taking steps to simplify the process for Turing Scheme applications for schools.

Answered by Josh MacAlister

Since bringing management of the Turing Scheme in-house for the 2024/25 academic year, in response to feedback from the education sector, the department introduced a streamlined digital application service that was co-designed. The service also includes simplified and shorter guidance and a grant calculator tool to help providers work out how much funding to apply for.

We welcome feedback from providers throughout the year and make changes to the Scheme’s operation where possible to increase access to the opportunities it provides.
