What Can CIF Be Used For?
Condition Improvement Fund is important because it ensures that school buildings are kept in a safe and working condition. It addresses significant requirements for improvement which are vitally important to the smooth running and safety of schools. This includes keeping them warm (heating, windows, roofing), dry (roofing, windows) and safe (fire safety, asbestos removal, safeguarding the perimeter, M&E). Much of the costs of these projects would be too high for a school or multi-academy trust to bear alone.
The funding is available for maintained schools, academies, and sixth-form colleges. Eligible institutions can submit bids for projects that align with the funding priorities set by the DfE.
