About All Saints Educational Trust

All Saints Educational Trust is a UK charitable trust dedicated to strengthening specialist teaching in Religious Education (RE) and Home Economics, including food and textiles. Their mission is to encourage more people to become teachers and to help practising teachers improve and remain in the profession. They take a targeted approach, investing in professional development and training to address subject shortages and enhance classroom practice. The Trust works UK-wide and supports both individuals and organisations. Distinctively, they focus exclusively on RE and Home Economics teaching, aiming for lasting benefits in the classroom.

What All Saints Educational Trust funds

The Trust funds training, continuing professional development, and postgraduate action research for trainee and practising teachers of Religious Education and Home Economics (including food and textiles). For organisations, they support programmes that provide mentoring, coaching, and online or face-to-face CPD for teachers, with the potential for lasting benefits. Programme Awards can be made for up to three years. Their work is UK-wide, and they prioritise well-researched initiatives that improve teaching quality and help teachers become better educators.

Who can apply

The Trust supports both individuals and organisations. Individuals include trainee and practising teachers of Religious Education and Home Economics. Organisations can include registered charities and schools. The Trust has a Christian foundation and prefers faith-based applicants, though it is inclusive of other faiths or none. They support applicants across the United Kingdom, and their programmes target those committed to advancing specialist teaching in RE and Home Economics.

What All Saints Educational Trust doesn't fund

The Trust does not award funding where study could be met from personal means or available public funding. They do not fund general institutional costs or directly cover salaries, though salary costs may be considered as part of programme management. Broader educational purposes or activities not directly advancing RE or Home Economics teaching quality are outside their scope.

How they like to fund

The Trust makes grants for up to three years for programme awards and offers multi-year support for individual awards. They do not require match funding. They welcome unsolicited applications and consider approaches from both individuals and organisations. Funding is directed towards training, professional development, and research, with an emphasis on sustainable impact and improving teaching practice.
