Funding & Grants For School Projects

Tight budgets can mean that exploring external funding opportunities is a must for many schools, colleges and other education establishments. We have extensive experience in advising our clients on making the best case for funding for school projects. Schools can, for example, pitch to the Condition Improvement Fund from the UK government or one of the charities listed below depending on what kind of build is required.

Many of the builds we have facilitated in the education sector have acquired grants for school improvement projects. Combined with our ability to design, manufacture and install at a fraction of traditional build prices, your essential expansion could be provided at a significantly reduced cost to your establishment.

Making the case for capital support

• Pressure on dining space is an issue that can strengthen your bid. Being able to compare the number of pupils on the school roll to the seating capacity in your dining room, and illustrating the difficulties the school has in wet weather when pupils are forced to eat lunch in classrooms or corridors, can help make a powerful argument for support.
• To further strengthen the case, requesting funds for an outdoor school canopy or ZONE glazed building can demonstrate best value due to their lower cost compared to traditional construction.
• Opening up facilities to the wider community can also strengthen your bid for funding. For example, a Streetspace covered sports canopy and outdoor pitch would be a tremendous asset for any school, and agreeing to make it available for wider community use on selected evenings, weekends or school holidays, if practical, can increase your chances of funding success.
