<p>The Education Funding Agency (EFA) will collect information on the condition of
Second Consortium of Local Authorities (SCOLA) school buildings in Hampshire and North
East Hampshire as part of the Condition Data Collection (CDC) programme. The CDC will
run from 2017 to autumn 2019 and is a high-level, visual and non-invasive collection
of consistent condition information for all government funded schools in England.
It is the successor to the Property Data Survey (PDS) which collected condition information
on the education estate between 2012 and 2014.</p><p>The CDC will assess the condition
of school buildings and how they have changed since the PDS but it will not provide
any assessment of the effect on educational provision or outcomes. The CDC will provide
the EFA with an improved and up to date evidence base which will help inform future
funding allocations and help direct investment to the areas with the greatest condition
need. It will also help identify school buildings for inclusion in future rebuilding
programmes and help those responsible for maintaining buildings develop their building
management data.</p><p>In most cases, CDC condition information will be made available
to a school and its responsible body within 8-10 weeks of the school’s site visit.</p>
