Projects expected to start on site this autumn
The government has confirmed the first 50 schools in the first wave of its 拢1bn School Rebuilding programme.
The entire programme is due to deliver 500 rebuilding projects across the next decade.
The schools (see below) include primary, secondary and special schools as well as a sixth form college in West Yorkshire, with more than 70% of the schools in the North and Midlands.
The school projects will be made greener in order to help meet the government鈥檚 net zero target.
The government has also announced 21 new free schools (see below). Ten of these are opening in some of the country鈥檚 most deprived areas, while three are in opportunity areas.
More than 拢10m will also be invested to support school sports and swimming facilities in England and will be distributed through Sport England.
Project planning for the 50 rebuilds is already advanced following site visits last year, so construction can begin on the first projects from this autumn.
The majority of the first 50 rebuild projects under the programme are expected to be completed within three to five years.
The investment of over 拢1bn to support the first round of the school rebuilding programme comes on top of the government鈥檚 allocation of 拢1.8bn for school repair and upgrade projects over this coming year.
Further details about the School Rebuilding programme will be set out later this year. Projects will range from replacing or refurbishing individual buildings through to whole school rebuilds.
The government is currently in the process of reprocuring its 拢7bn school building framework.
