Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent estimate her Department has made of when the re-build of Ashfield School will take place.

Ashfield Comprehensive School is currently in the feasibility stage of the School Rebuilding Programme. The feasibility will determine the scope of the project, programme and the budget. Once the feasibility is concluded the department will procure a contractor to undertake the detailed design of the scheme and secure planning permission.

The department currently anticipates appointing a contractor in spring 2025, with construction beginning from autumn/winter 2025.
