Post-16 capacity fund
Funding for providers of 16 to 19 education for capital investment to accommodate a demographic increase in learners in September 2024.
The Post-16 Capacity Fund allows colleges and sixth forms to bid for cash to extend their premises when they need to expand their pupil intake.
Who can apply:
Further Education Colleges
Sixth Form Colleges
16-19 academies
Free schools
LA-maintained schools with sixth forms
Applicants need to include historic, existing and projected future annual data for 16-19 demographic growth and student demand for their institution.
They must also:
explain why additional learners cannot be accommodated by another local provider
consider how project proposals align with national and local skills needs and provide long term value for money
ensure the project will support the Government’s targets on sustainability and net zero carbon emissions.

Last month the Department for Education released a new piece of guidance to help school building owners and maintenance staff identify building systems and prioritise maintenance and repair of their school estate.
We are returning to The Schools & Academies Show on May 1, 2024, at Excel London. As usual, our team will be on hand to discuss all your estate needs and we are also thrilled to announce that we will be running a competition in collaboration with the British Youth Music Theatre.
