Curriculum and CPD support for your TPL Fund
If you're a primary teacher or school leader in Northern Ireland, you've likely heard about the new Teacher Professional Learning (TPL) Fund - £31 million being invested by the Department of Education - over three years to support teacher development in every school.
But as schools rush to complete their strategy plans before the 29 September deadline, the question many are asking is: What can we actually spend it on?
We’re here to help with that.
Who we are
We’re Hamilton Brookes, a not-for-profit team of experienced educators and curriculum specialists, based at Oxford Brookes University. We’ve been working with thousands of UK schools for over two decades - providing structured, evidence-informed teaching materials and CPD that save time, reduce workload, and support subject knowledge in English, Maths and Science.
You might already know us through the Reading with AI project, which we’re delivering across 150+ NI schools as part of a Department of Education pilot. But our support goes far beyond that.
What we offer
Your school can now use TPL funding to subscribe to Hamilton’s full suite of resources, including:
- Lesson planning for English, Maths and Science - plus History and Geography
- Subject knowledge guidance and printable teaching tools
- Specialist support for mixed-age teaching - ideal for small schools
- Ongoing PD content developed in partnership with Oxford Brookes
- All backed by pedagogy that reflects the science of reading and inclusive practice
It’s a simple, cost-effective way to support your whole staff, reduce workload, and it fits directly into your School Development Plan.
It's the 'quick win' you were looking for!
- It’s eligible under “Resources/Materials” and “PD” in your TPL planner
