What Our Clients Say
Here's some feedback from clients who have worked with us.
“Dear Sir/Madam,
We are pleased to provide a reference for RPT Consultants UK Limited, who have worked with Rainham Mark Education Trust over the past four years, providing expert CIF consultancy and project delivery support across our three schools.
RPT Consultants have successfully advised and secured Condition Improvement Funding (CIF) for a wide range of essential projects, including:
Twydall Primary School
Rainham Mark Grammar School
Riverside Primary School
RPT Consultants have consistently demonstrated professionalism, sector-specific expertise, and a thorough understanding of the CIF process. Their well-developed CIF bid templates and structured approach ensure that all necessary evidence and technical justification are clearly presented to maximise the chances of a successful application.
All projects have been managed exceptionally well, delivered on programme and within budget, and completed with no disruption to the school curriculum. Communication throughout has been excellent, and their ability to coordinate with contractors, school leaders, and other stakeholders has been highly valued.
We would thoroughly recommend RPT Consultants for both CIF-funded and directly funded projects. Their experience in the education sector, particularly in managing complex works within live school environments, makes them a trusted and valuable partner.
Yours faithfully,
Robert McCormick"
“Dear Sir/Madam,
The Willow Learning Trust comprises three schools in Sutton and Merton: Glenthorne High School, Aragon Primary School and Abbey Primary School. We have worked with RPT Consultants for two years and we are delighted that during this time they have secured us four successful CIF bids with a combined financial value of £4.3m. All of these projects have been delivered on budget and to a very high standard, ensuring our three schools have remained operational with minimal disturbance from the building works.
RPT Consultants have also provided estate condition advice to the schools, such as providing advice on window replacements at Glenthorne High School. RPT Consultants have successfully delivered the first phase of replacing the windows and cladding and we plan to undertake phase two with RPT Consultants next summer, where the works are being funded from internal reserves.
The Headteachers and Facilities Managers and I all have very good working relationships with the team at RPT Consultants and greatly value their professionalism, attention to detail and expertise. They are responsive, reliable and communicate effectively.
We would highly commend their services.
Yours faithfully,
S. J. Hume"
“Dear Sir/Madam,
Folio Education Trust (now part of Greenshaw Learning Trust) ran a rigorous process to select a building consultant and we decided to work with RPT Consultants based on their knowledge, professionalism and exemplary record of winning CIF projects.
Upon appointment, they helped Wallington County Grammar School (WCGS) win a £1.8m CIF bid for fire compliance improvements. We are halfway through the project and RPT’s project management has been of the highest quality, ensuring that milestones are delivered and the school has been able to operate as normal.
We also commissioned RPT to conduct a detailed condition survey of WCGS and they are supporting some of Greenshaw’s schools with planning sustainability projects linked to the net zero target.
Our experience of RPT’s results, advice and quality of work means that we highly recommend their services.
Yours faithfully,
Oliver Blackburn"
