Next 50 school rebuilding projects to be announced this year
The Department for Education has said the next 50 school rebuilding projects under its ten year programme will be announced this year.
The DfE said the first 50 schools were chosen either because they had buildings of specific construction types that need replacing, or because their buildings had the highest condition need based on the condition data collection (CDC) conducted between 2017 and 2019.
The DfE plans to use the same method to identify the next projects but has said it will consult this year on how to prioritise projects for the rest of the ten-year programme.
The DfE will contact schools identified for possible prioritisation this month to collect up-to-date details about the condition of the identified buildings and schools will then have around six weeks to complete an online form with information about their current condition. The DfE says it will visit sites in most cases.
The department aims to confirm prioritised projects in the summer.
