Strategic School Improvement Fund (SSIF)

The £140 million Strategic School Improvement Fund is a grant to support primary, secondary, middle, all-through, alternative provision and special academies and maintained schools, and pupil referral units. It is intended to further build a school-led system, and aims to target resources at the schools most in need to improve school performance and pupil attainment; to help them use their resources most effectively, and to deliver more good school places.

Further details regarding the SSIF process, Regional Priorities, eligibility criteria, support to develop collaborative applications and general enquiries can be accessed via the East Midlands South Yorkshire and Humber Teaching School website.
