Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when his Department will publish its consultation on prioritised schools for the School Rebuilding Programme.

The department consulted over the summer and early autumn 2021 on the approach to prioritising schools for remaining places in the programme. On 3 February 2022 we published the response to the consultation. The response can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/prioritising-schools-for-the-school-rebuilding-programme.

Responsible bodies can now nominate schools for the next round and guidance is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-rebuilding-programme. We announced the first 100 schools in the programme in 2021, as part of a commitment to 500 projects over the next decade.
