Recipients of School Condition Improvement Fund announced
The Department for Education has confirmed the recipients to the latest payments of the School Condition Improvement Fund.
£498 million has been allocated to 1,405 schools and sixth form colleges across the country most in need of improvements to the quality of their buildings.
The funding will help ensure children and young people have access to high quality, modern learning environments no matter where in the country they grow up.
The Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) is an annual bidding round for eligible academies, sixth-form colleges and voluntary aided (VA) schools to apply for capital funding. The priority for the fund is to address significant condition need, keeping education provider buildings safe and in good working order. This includes funding projects to address health and safety issues, building compliance and poor building condition.
