Supporting Academies to Build, Improve, and Thrive
Warneford Consulting is a trusted network of independent estate strategy and funding specialists, dedicated exclusively to the academy school sector. Our mission is to help schools enhance, maintain, and optimise their built assets—ensuring safe, efficient, and sustainable learning environments.
High-Impact CIF Bid Services
Led by education estate expert Tim Warneford, we prioritise service quality over volume. That’s why we limit the number of Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) bids we submit annually. This focused approach results in consistently high success rates, with many schools returning to us as their preferred partner year after year.
Energy Strategy for a Sustainable Future
In partnership with leaders like Lloyds Bank, BCR, and Green Net Zero, we offer energy services that help schools reduce costs, track carbon performance, and unlock renewable energy opportunities. It’s a one-stop solution for smarter, greener energy management.
Unlocking Income from School Assets
Warneford Consulting works with schools to identify ways to generate income from underutilised spaces and facilities. Whether through strategic partnerships, Section 106 funding negotiations, or land disposal support, we help schools realise the full financial potential of their estates.
Expert Building Survey Services
Our RICS-accredited surveyor network delivers a full suite of building survey services—ranging from compliance and health & safety assessments to long-term maintenance planning. These insights support proactive estate management and funding readiness.
Supporting Trust Expansion
We also assist multi-academy trusts (MATs) with due diligence and stakeholder negotiations during expansion. From working with Regional School Commissioners to liaising with local authorities, our support ensures confident, informed decision-making.
