Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will publish the (a) total modelled condition need and (b) average condition need per school which was found during the Condition Data Collection programme in 2017 to 2019 in (i) each local authority area and (ii) Westminster constituency.

The total modelled condition need, defined as the modelled cost of the remedial work to repair or replace all defective elements in the school estate, is £11.4 billion. Further details can be found in the report published in May 2021, which can be accessed here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/989912/Condition_of_School_Buildings_Survey_CDC1_-_key_findings_report.pdf.

The report includes a regional breakdown of both modelled condition need and average condition need per school. The department expects to publish more detailed data from the Condition Data Collection programme later this year and will set out further details in due course.
