Every By IRIS

Next week, Ben Tummons will be talking to Clare Skinner, Business Manager at KINGS NORTON GIRLS' SCHOOL, about what makes school capital funding applications successful. And you're invited to join us! 👋 Since 2022, the school has used our compliance software, Every Compliance, for numerous estate activities, like logging and tracking reactive maintenance requests. Last year, Clare turned this trail of maintenance into evidence to support KNGS's application for the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF). This spring, they received just short of £700k for an urgent site rebuild. 🏫 Find out what made the application a success by joining this session: https://lnkd.in/e4Qdj_hh #CIF #SchoolCondition #SchoolCapitalFunding

The DfE has released its annual 'Information for applicants’ document for schools looking to apply for the CIF. The core focus of the fund is to keep school and college buildings safe and in good working order. 🏫 Condition projects that address compliance and health and safety issues are given the highest priority. For example, projects that involve: ➡️ Structural safety ➡️ Fire protection systems ➡️ Gas safety ➡️ Electrical safety ➡️ Emergency asbestos removal #CIF #SchoolCapitalFunding #ConditionImprovementFund #SchoolCondition

👋 Did you know eligibility criteria for the School Condition Allocation (SCA) and Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) is now available for the 2025/26 financial year? To receive direct SCA, MATs and VA bodies must have had five or more open schools at the start of September 2024. Open schools (or their predecessors) must have also had at least 3,000 pupils counted in the spring 2024 census or the 2023 to 2024 individualised learner record (ILR). 🏫 Schools that don’t meet both the above will be eligible to bid for the CIF. #SchoolFunding #SCA #CIF #CapitalFunding #SchoolCapitalFunding
