30 March 2021

Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) 2020/2021

Quattro has secured over £20 million of CIF Funding in the last 5 years

In the 2020/21 CIF bidding round the Department for Education provided over £600 million pounds worth of funding for improvement, building and repair works for academies across the country. This funding is a significant opportunity for schools to upgrade and improve their facilities.

At Quattro, we have an outstanding track record of securing CIF bids over many  years. For the 2020/21 CIF bidding round our Education Architects successfully secured nearly £5 million worth of funding for local Gloucestershire schools.

We are on hand to provide our clients with the best CIF bid writing and application support enabling their school vision to become a reality.

Our dedicated team of highly experienced Professional Advisors has secured over £20 million worth of funding over the last 5 years and is ready to help your through the CIF funding process.

Quattro’s track record of CIF applications encompasses a wide variety of projects:

  • New Classrooms and Extensions
  • Structural Repairs and Alterations
  • Sports Facilities
  • Roof and Window Replacement
  • Boiler Replacement
  • Safeguarding and Site Security

Our specialist Education Designers are currently working on 9 projects, for 7  local schools, where works have started on site after securing the necessary funding, and  are working with many other academies on this year’s round of CIF bidding during the Covid-19 outbreak.

We are experts in Education Design and strive to create safe, secure and positive learning environments for your pupils, teachers and staff.

If you’d like to discuss how we can help you, please get in touch.

Our many years of successful CIF bid writing means we are best placed to guide you through this complex procedure.

... including helping with bids in order to obtain funding from the Education and Skills Funding Agency for building projects (with considerable success), project management, lead consultant managing design teams, clerk of works and overall ‘customer friend’.

Not only do you understand funding constraints but also the limitations on time that staff at the school will have and are happy to do everything possible to minimise their workload.

Shirely Park, Development Officer
Pates Grammar School, Cheltenham

We're absolutely delighted with what's been achieved within the limitations of our compact site, which is certainly not without its logistical challenges! cont/...

...Together, we have built a positive environment around us that directly effects children’s attitudes and their ability to learn and explore ideas. Many thanks again to Quattro for providing us with the vision.

Bourton-on-the-Water Primary Academy

Quattro has created beautiful, inspiring learning spaces for our local school children and teachers. The completion of the final phase, an Early Years extension provides the much-needed creative space for pupils to develop their ideas and the perfect environment to host onsite before and after school wrap around care.

Cheryl Agg, School Operations Manager
Bourton-on-the-Water Primary Academy

Well done. Fully deserving to be awarded first place. A good all-round team effort including the early safety planning by Quattro and the team.
