The Projects
After submitting numerous CIF bids on behalf of all schools within the Collegiate, Make were delighted to successfully obtain funding for many of them and were appointed as Project Manager, Principal Designer and Contract Administrator for all schemes.

In addition to Make’s involvement through CIF, Make has also acted as Lead Consultant on a nursery extension to increase early years provision at Our Lady and St Werburgh’s Catholic Primary School.

The Outcome
To date, Make has secured £2.5m of funding through the Condition Improvement Fund over the course of the last 3 years and has delivered £3m of projects in total. Looking forward, Make is currently undertaking surveys and advising on project prioritisation for the forthcoming CIF bidding round (2025-26) at all schools within the Collegiate as we continue to support our valued Client.
We are really proud of the relationship that we have built with CTKCC and are looking forward to working on many more successful projects together. The impact of these projects has not only improved the school’s compliance, condition and overall efficiency of their built assets but has also significantly improved the teaching environments and for both pupils and staff.
The Client
“We have used several Consultants over the years to deliver a variety of projects ranging from toilet refurbishment, flat roof replacement and new classroom blocks before we moved to Make as our preferred provider. Make have proved to be excellent value for money and provided a first-rate service since our first introduction to the company. We have seen a significant improvement in the number of successful bids over this period and will continue to work with Make for the foreseeable future.”
Dave Rushton, Operations Manager at CTKCC
