The Teacher Professional Learning Fund is designed to provide schools with dedicated funding to support professional development over three academic years between 2025/26 and 2027/28. The Fund allocates annual earmarked funding to each grant-aided school, calculated on a per teacher basis, to ensure equitable and sustained investment in teacher professional development.

The Fund aims to provide every school with funding to access high-quality professional learning opportunities and to support school leaders to design and implement professional learning programmes that are directly aligned with the specific learning needs of their teachers, in line with the Learning Leaders Strategy.

We are delighted to offer our professional development programme which reflects the need of the Transform Ed NI , strategy. Please find our brochure here.
