Confirmed projects
There are currently 519 projects in the programme, which began in 2021. A list of confirmed projects is available, including information on the date when each was announced.
Schools are provisionally allocated a place on the programme subject to further due diligence.
Prioritising schools for the programme
Schools are prioritised because they meet one or more of the following criteria. Their buildings:
- are of specific construction types that require replacement
- have the highest condition needs, as identified through the condition data collection (CDC) programme and verified through the collection of additional condition information
- have severe and urgent condition needs
- have risks with the potential to cause significant harm to pupils or staff
More information about how we prioritised schools is available in the methodology notes.
Equalities impact assessments
We have published 2 equalities impact assessments related to the programme, covering the impact of the selection approach on school building users with protected characteristics.
Urgent and severe building condition issues
Responsible bodies must ensure the safety and maintenance of the buildings in their care. If you have an urgent and severe condition need you are unable to resolve, contact DfE for guidance.
