Criteria
- This fund is open to all state funded schools and colleges
- Based within a 25 mile radius of Glyndebourne
- Priority is given to those schools with the highest percentage of pupils eligible for Free School Meals (We use the ‘Get information about schools service’ as our data source to confirm percentage of FSM).
How do I apply?
Applications for travel grants to visit Glyndebourne’s Performances for Schools will be open in June.
You will be informed of the success of your travel grant application by email and you will receive the grant funding once your tickets have been confirmed and paid for. While we may not be able to offer the full grant, we will endeavour to cover some of the costs for as many eligible groups as possible.
Conditions of grant
By applying for a travel grant, schools agree to supply the following information:
- A supplier form with your school’s bank details.
- An invoice or receipt as evidence of the cost of your travel.
- A completed post-performance feedback form – teacher and pupil – provided by Glyndebourne
- A post-performance ‘creative response’ which demonstrates the impact of your visit on your students and their study. These could be in any form (pictures, drawings, comments from family members, displays, etc), and tailored very specifically for your group. We only request a sample of work, which should be submitted to us within the month following the performance.
- If your school is already taking part in Arts Award with Glyndebourne the condition above is fulfilled through that project.
The grants are administered and funded by Glyndebourne Productions Ltd with additional support through Glyndebourne’s New Generation Programme.
Glyndebourne administers these grants to help connect local schools with Glyndebourne through the Learning & Engagement programme. Glyndebourne bears no responsibility for the services provided by external travel providers; schools are responsible for checking appropriate safety standards and liability insurance when using an outside organisation and should follow the guidance at gov.uk when planning any educational visits.
