Urgent Capital Support from Department for Education

Urgent Capital Support is intended for academy trusts and Voluntary Aided (VA) schools, not in receipt of school condition allocation, and sixth-form colleges that want to apply for funding assistance to address urgent building condition issues that threaten the closure of the whole, or a significant part of the school. Applications are subject to a financial assessment, using the core financial returns shared with the Department for Education. For all academy applications, financial health is considered at academy trust level and not against the individual school. Please note that most successful applications will be funded through loan arrangements, where these are deemed affordable for the recipient.

The closing date for applications is 31 March 2026.
