Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many schools in Birmingham (a) applied and (b) were successful with their application to the School Rebuilding Programme in the last two years.
The Department announced the next 239 schools prioritised for the School Rebuilding Programme (SRP) on 16 December 2022. This included 10 schools of the 30 nominations received from within the Birmingham Local Authority area. This is in addition to the five schools previously announced in rounds one to three of the programme and means that a total of 15 schools will be rebuilt or refurbished as part of the SRP.
