Please review the frequently asked questions below to help you complete your Clean Air Schools Programme grant application form.
These frequently asked questions were last updated on 8 May 2024. We will update this information if any school asks a question about the completion of their application form.
If you have additional questions about your application do not hesitate to contact us by email: cleanairschools@bradford.gov.uk.
The timeline section is to show any milestones in your project and to demonstrate that any financial claims can be spent within 2 years of the grant award. For example, if part of your project is a staff run program that lasts 12 months or a bike shelter takes 3 weeks from order to installation, please make note of this.
Whilst we expect you to use the supplier that demonstrates the best value, we advise you to put the figure of the preferred quote on the application form. Please still provide both quotes for reference.
Please include the anticipated hours and costs of staffing for the project.
The location map should show the general location of the school in relation to the surrounding road network and other pollution sources. If you do not have a map of the school premises, you can use the link below, take a screenshot and outline the property boundaries and the location of any planned developments.
You should also include photos of the school grounds where projects are going to be completed. For example, a photo of where a bike shed is going to be built.
The grant will be paid upon completion of the project once the required evidence has been received. Exceptions will be made if the project is not physical items but instead a service such as a walking bus, a cycle/scooter training programme or staffing costs. If the project is partially a service and partially physical items, the grant may be paid in separate payments. These will be assessed on a school by school basis, but we aim to be flexible to assist your project.
The first and second director signatures must be any two active directors of the academy/trust. If you are unsure who these are, you can check on Companies’ House by clicking the ‘People’ tab.
You will be sent a document and asked to provide the bank details of the account the grant will be paid into.
The closing date for full applications for the Clean Air Schools Programme has been extended to 15 March 2024. Please note, if you submit your application after this date, it will not be considered.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the team at cleanairschools@bradford.gov.uk.
