Funding for English Hubs in 24/25 has been devised to enable hubs to deliver funding to purchase Systematic Synthetic Phonics (SSP) programmes, resources and/or training and to be able to implement it successfully.
 
Hubs can fund any eligible school up to £9,000 where, in their professional judgement, and supported by audit outcomes and eligibility criteria, the school can benefit from funding.
 
Funding must be used to fund the purchase of a complete SSP programme from the DfE’s validated list of SSP programmes, and/or the associated training and resources required for implementing the programme with fidelity. For schools that have already purchased a validated programme, the funding may be used for the purchase of programme resources and/or training.
