School access initiative programme
All Central Bedfordshire schools can apply for schools access initiative funding to improve access to schools for pupils with disabilities.
Schools can apply for capital funding for building works to adapt and improve the school building, or for the provision of special equipment to make the school more accessible to a child with disabilities. A Panel of officers and head teachers meet in April, June, October and January to consider applications and allocate funding based on the needs of a specific child, to schools that currently have, or are due to admit, disabled pupils on roll.
Applications are evaluated against the priority of funding identified in our Accessibility Strategy (PDF 219KB)
