The Clean Air Schools Programme full application process is now closed.
We are not taking any further applications at this stage.
The Bradford Clean Air Schools Programme (CASP) is a Bradford Council initiative funded by the Bradford Clean Air Zone (CAZ). Reductions in pollution outside schools are already being delivered by the CAZ, especially at those located next to busy main roads. The CASP seeks to further improve air quality at schools by providing targeted funding direct to schools to help them implement bespoke emission and exposure reduction measures ensuring schools become cleaner, healthier places for Bradford’s children.
The Clean Air Schools Programme application process is now closed.

The £500,000 fund is offering grants of £250 to £10,000 per school. Joint applications can be made and use a joint funding amount, for example two schools can apply for up to £20,000 on a joint project.
To be eligible for the fund you must be a Bradford District school offering primary or secondary education.
Applications will be assessed based on: Potential air quality improvement, reduced exposure, wider benefits, cost, deliverability, and stakeholder support.
The grant values will normally be up to £10,000 and following the expressions of interest process schools will be supported in drawing up plans for bespoke solutions to maximise emission reduction in the vicinity of their premises.
There are no one-size fits all solutions and site conditions, buildings, locations and communities will vary, however examples of the types of things these grants will support at schools are:
We would welcome ideas attracting match funding and partnership working
