<p>The healthy pupils capital fund (HPCF) is a one year fund of £100 million in 2018-19.</p><p>Existing
mechanisms for school condition funding have been used to allocate and monitor the
HPCF. Local authorities and large multi-academy trusts have received an allocation
from the HPCF (£62 million). The funding can only be used for capital projects and
responsible bodies are required to report on how they have spent their HPCF in the
same way they report on, and alongside, their school condition allocation.</p><p>Single
and small academy trusts and sixth-form colleges were able to bid for a share of £38
million of the HPCF through the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) 2018 to 2019. All
responsible bodies are required to sign up to terms and conditions which state that
funding can only be spent on what was applied for before the first payment is released.
Once underway, all CIF projects are required to submit regular monitoring reports
to the Department for Education. At the end of the project, a final completion certificate
is required before the final payment is released.</p>
