Need funding for your school project?
Securing funding for school buildings and facilities can be complex, but it doesn’t have to be. At Grayling Thomas Architects, we specialise in navigating the full range of education funding streams- helping schools, academies, and trusts unlock millions in vital investment.
We have successfully secured over £14 million in CIF funding for Academies and MATs, alongside multiple successful bids for Salix energy funding, sports facilities grants, and diocesan funding. Our expert team manages the entire funding process, from detailed condition surveys to final submission- relieving Headteachers, Business Managers, and Trustees of the burden.
Our core specialism. We have secured millions for academies and multi-academy trusts to improve and expand facilities. From condition surveys to compelling bid writing, we take care of the process end-to-end.


Experienced in preparing successful bids for Voluntary Aided schools through the Local Capital Voluntary Aided Programme.
Our work with schools and academies includes:
Education Funding Agency (EFA) Grants
Detailed Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) Bids and Condition Surveys
