Your estate, your evidence: Navigating the DfE's new expectations

The DfE's Education Estates Strategy signals a fundamental shift in how schools and trusts are expected to manage, evidence, and report on their estate. From mandatory annual returns this autumn to the CIF reform on the horizon, the pressure is on everyone responsible for keeping buildings safe, compliant, and fit for purpose.

This webinar unpacks what the strategy means in practice for school business managers, estates leads, and senior leaders alike. We'll cover what good estate management looks like now, what digital readiness will mean for future funding, and how structured data is already making the difference for schools securing capital investment.

We'll also hear how Kings Norton Girls' School secured £700,000 in CIF funding through better compliance management, and what that journey looked like on the ground.

Whether you manage one site or many, this session will help you understand what’s next and how to best prepare.
