Priority School Building Programme

The Department for Education has launched a privately financed programme to provide school facilities. The programme is intended to address those schools in the worst condition.

Ministers may also take into account pressing cases of basic need (the requirement for additional school places) and other ministerial priorities. The programme is likely to include a mix of primary schools, secondary schools, special schools, sixth form colleges and alternative provision.
