Condition Improvement Fund (CIF)

What is the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF)?

​

The Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) is an annual bidding round that academies and multi academy trusts can apply for Capital Funding. The main priority for this fund is to ensure that school buildings are safe and in good working order.

​

Who is eligible to apply?

​

Stand alone Academies, Small Academy Trust's (less than 5 schools, or less than 3,000 pupils across the trust) and schools with a signed academy order (before September 1st) are eligible to apply.

Large Multi Academy Trusts (with 5+ schools and more than 3,000 pupils) are ineligible to apply as they receive their own capital funding allocations.

What can we apply for?

Each academy in the trust can apply for two projects each, ranging from £20,000 to £4,000,000. There are a number of projects that can be applied for, please see below the project priorities from the last CIF round:
