Condition Improvement Fund (360G-cabinetoffice-G2-GA-2026021993790-24-25)

The Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) is available to eligible academies, voluntary-aided (VA) schools and sixth form colleges to support condition, and a small number of expansion projects, with the focus being to keep school and college buildings safe and in good working order. The priority for the Department for Education (DfE) 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. These are for academies, sixth-form colleges and VA schools rated good or outstanding by Ofsted that can demonstrate a need to expand.
