£483m allocated through Condition Improvement Fund

£483 million from the Condition Improvement Fund will go to 1,199 schools this year, it has been announced. The North East and North West are set to receive the largest allocation of funding across all the English regions, with £93 million for 273 successful schools.

Many of the projects funded by Condition Improvement Fund will lead to improved classrooms, more energy efficient buildings and will reduce energy bills for schools.

Local authorities, larger multi-academy trusts and Voluntary Aided school bodies such as dioceses, were allocated condition funding earlier this year in accordance with the latest data on their estates.

Smaller academy trusts and sixth form colleges have been able to submit bids to the Department for funding through the Condition Improvement Fund process, for essential maintenance and upgrades. The most pressing 1,199 projects across the country have been allocated funding.
