Teaching schools can apply for funding of up to around £60,000.
Some teaching schools are already working with early years providers. Teaching schools have a large remit to provide training and development to other schools and early years providers in a number of different ways.
The funding is aimed at encouraging local areas to explore ways of improving their early years practice, ahead of the introduction of the Early Years Pupil Premium next April.
The National College for Teaching & Leadership said it wants to ‘foster a school-led self-improving system through Teaching Schools’.
Funding could be used to support teaching schools on continuing professional development, supporting other schools, including through specialist leaders of education, and identifying and developing leadership potential.
