Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in Schools Grant Scheme

The Department for Education (DfE) are pleased to announce that the Schools Water Strategy is now inviting applications for the Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in Schools Grant Scheme. The aim of the SuDS in Schools grant is to reduce surface water flood risk in the school estate. This is a match funded scheme and therefore, at the DfE’s discretion and where the scheme criteria allow, the DfE can grant fund up to 50% of the total project costs. The full application guidance set out below provides details of the eligibility criteria, project objectives, Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) and how to apply, alongside dates and supporting information.
