Funded scale: CIF £4M cap vs SRP whole-school?
SRP funds whole-school or whole-block rebuilds. Schools are nominated by the DfE based on a national condition prioritisation, not by trust application. RAAC-affected blocks are typically routed to SRP rather than CIF.
The £4M CIF cap effectively forces whole-school projects into SRP. Trusts can express interest, but cannot self-nominate the way they bid into CIF.
