£25m Funding for Academy Clients

Following successful applications, a further £25 million of funding has been secured from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), following the Condition Improvement Fund announcement earlier this week. We have helped support over 700 schools and academies in recent years, attaining over £200m of capital funding to provide expansion space, address condition issues and deliver environmental improvements.

Drees & Sommer UK has been the biggest provider of services to the academy market through the CIF programme (and its predecessor the Academies Capital Maintenance Fund) and continues to develop innovative solutions that meet the needs of our academy clients and the requirements of the ESFA. We have achieved a success rate twice the national average and have procured a significant proportion of the total funding available.
