The government has launched the first phase of its ten-year school rebuilding programme, with 50 projects being announced
The programme is due to deliver 500 projects over the next decade; the schools include primary, secondary and special ones as well as a sixth form college in West Yorkshire; more than 70% of the schools are in the North and the Midlands
Construction will begin on the first projects from Autumn 2021, with the majority of them being completed within three to five years
The projects will range from replacing or refurbishing individual buildings through to whole school rebuilds; the DfE plans to consult this year on how schools are prioritised for future rounds of the programme
Additionally, 21 free schools have been announced as part of wave 14; ten are in some of the most deprived areas and three in opportunity areas
More than £10million will also be invested to support school sports and swimming facilities in England, and will be distributed through Sport England
