“CIF bidding can seem an impenetrable process and it is rewarding to have the skills and experience be able to guide schools through the maze and to deliver the improvements that are benefiting so many school communities.”
Every year academy schools and colleges can apply to the Condition Improvement Fund programme for funding for the upkeep and improvement of buildings and to fund expansion projects.
