Selective Schools Expansion Fund

Selective Schools Expansion Fund (SSEF)

The purpose of the Selective Schools Expansion Fund (SSEF) is to support the expansion of selective schools where:

• there is a need for additional places, both in terms of a shortfall of secondary places in the local area and a demand from parents for more selective places
• schools have ambitious and realistic plans for increasing access for disadvantaged pupils
• they have plans to work with other local schools to increase access for disadvantaged pupils and to raise attainment.

The Selective Schools Expansion Fund (SSEF) is made available to certain schools that demonstrate how they plan to attract more disadvantaged pupils. Working alongside other schools in the area to raise standards more widely.

The SSEF is designated capital with funding in the region of £50 million awarded in 2019/2020.
