What is the Harnessing Technology Grant?

The Harnessing Technology Grant is the principal source of capital funding for technology in schools, with £639.5 million being distributed through this stream between 2008–11.

How to access the funds?

The grant is allocated to local authorities using a formula that calculates factors such as pupil numbers, the level of deprivation and population sparsity. Individual local authorities will determine the basis on which funding is distributed to eligible schools. This arrangement is intended to give local authorities the flexibility they need to meet local priorities most effectively.
