Schools underway or waiting to join the programme
5453 schools are in the pre-design, design or planning part of the programme.
This means that minor preparatory works may take place, such as demolition of surplus buildings or bringing in temporary learning spaces.
4244 schools are waiting to join the programme.
We are carrying out minor works at those schools where they are needed to ensure learning environments remain healthy and safe in the meantime.
