Conditions of grant

By applying for a travel grant, schools agree to supply the following information:

• A supplier form with your school’s bank details.
• An invoice or receipt as evidence of the cost of your travel.
• A completed post-performance feedback form – teacher and pupil – provided by Glyndebourne
• A post-performance ‘creative response’ which demonstrates the impact of your visit on your students and their study. These could be in any form (pictures, drawings, comments from family members, displays, etc), and tailored very specifically for your group. We only request a sample of work, which should be submitted to us within the month following the performance.
• If your school is already taking part in Arts Award with Glyndebourne the condition above is fulfilled through that project.

The grants are administered and funded by Glyndebourne Productions Ltd with additional support through Glyndebourne’s New Generation Programme.

Glyndebourne administers these grants to help connect local schools with Glyndebourne through the Learning & Engagement programme. Glyndebourne bears no responsibility for the services provided by external travel providers; schools are responsible for checking appropriate safety standards and liability insurance when using an outside organisation and should follow the guidance at gov.uk when planning any educational visits.
