Your 10 Year Property Plan (10YPP) is the main planning tool for your school property. It sets a 10-year schedule of property work. In your 10YPP, you:
- prioritise
- health and safety work that keeps buildings safe
- essential infrastructure works
- plan for maintenance work
- plan for any potential changes in roll numbers
- plan to modernise learning spaces
- request other capital funding, if available, such as new teaching space for roll growth .
Your Property Occupancy Document (POD) requires you to have a 10YPP.
You must also formally submit a new 10YPP to us every 5 years as part of getting approval for your 5 Year Agreement (5YA) funding.
Your 10YPP helps ensure that your school buildings are maintained and can support twenty-first century teaching and learning.
