To consider the submission of a nomination to
the DfE School Rebuilding Programme. The School Rebuilding
Programme carries out major rebuilding and refurbishment projects
at school and sixth form college buildings across England, with
buildings prioritised according to their condition. The window for
nominations for the 2022 round has just been opened and closes on 3
March 2022.
That agreement be given, taking into account
the qualifying criteria set out in the Department for Education
guidance and the condition data held by DfE and the LA, to identify
and nominate the potential local authority schools for inclusion in
the programme.
The School Rebuilding Programme carries out
major rebuilding and refurbishment projects at school and sixth
form college buildings across England, with buildings prioritised
according to their condition. There are currently 100 projects in
the programme. The Government announced the first 50 school in the
Programme in February 2021 and the second set of 50 schools in July
2021. In 2022 to 2023, the programme expects to prioritise up to
300 schools, reserving remaining places for later in the programme.
Schools selected will be informed that they have been provisionally
allocated a place on the programme, subject to further due
diligence, and projects will then enter delivery at a rate of 50
per year.
Guidance for responsible bodies on how to nominate schools for the
next round of the Programme has now been published. Responsible
bodies must nominate schools by 3 March 2022.
