Eligible schools can claim the mentor grant as long as the mentor (of the student teacher who is enrolled on Primary 3 to 7, 5 to 11 leading to QTS or in a secondary subject) has registered their details with us as a mentor and completed the mentor support package.
DfE will contact all eligible schools, typically in May with details on how to claim the funding via the mentor grant claim portal.
(Please note if you are mentoring a teacher as part of their ECF induction, the above is not applicable.)
