Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding her Department allocated to Enfield Council for the Priority school building programme in the latest period for which data is available.

There were four schools from Enfield Council included in the Priority School Building Programme, the predecessor to the School Rebuilding Programme (SRP), with a total funding of over £14 million. The projects at Eldon Primary School, Walker Primary School, Durants School and Brimsdown Primary School have all been completed and the schools are able to teach in modern facilities that will inspire generations of pupils.

The SRP was announced in 2020 and will transform buildings at 500 schools and sixth form colleges over the next decade. It will rebuild or refurbish poor condition buildings, providing modern designs, with new buildings being net zero carbon in operation. Five schools from within Enfield Council area have been selected for SRP, announced in 2022. These schools are being scheduled for delivery, and the funding for each project will depend on the works at each school. This will be determined when the scope and delivery plans for each project are developed.
