Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if her Department will publish the number and details of applications made for the Condition Improvement Fund period 2018-19.

All successful Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) applicants, including those who receive funding for healthy pupil initiatives through the CIF 2018 to 2019 round, are required to submit project monitoring returns at quarterly intervals throughout the course of the project. In some cases, this will be at monthly intervals informing the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA) of project spend and delivery. Failure to do so results in further instalments being withheld.

All successful projects are also required to submit a completion return providing evidence of the completion of the works and the total project spend. Any changes to the project, including significant delays, changes to the scope of work or the level of funding are required to be approved by the ESFA via a scope change request.

We will publish the number of successful applications, the names of the successful schools and sixth-form colleges and a brief description of the successful project on GOV.UK at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/condition-improvement-fund in April 2018.
