Eligible academies, sixth-form colleges and voluntary-aided (VA) schools can apply for capital funding in an annual bidding round.
The priority for the Department for Education in administering the fund is to address significant condition needs – that is, keeping education providers’ buildings safe and in good working order. This includes funding projects that address health and safety issues, building compliance and buildings in poor condition. The fund also supports a small number of expansion projects.
