<p>The Department is investing over £24bn in school buildings from 2016- 2021 to maintain
schools, rebuild and replace buildings in the worst condition, and ensure there are
enough school places in the system. This includes over £10 billion allocated for maintaining
and improving the condition of the school estate from 2016-2021.</p><p>Hampshire County
Council received £19,367,940 in school condition allocations in 2015-16 and £19,370,943
in 2016-17 which allows them to make localised decisions to address their individual
priorities such as maintaining the condition of their school estate. These are indicative
of the allocation Hampshire will receive in 2017-18, which will be announced shortly.
These figures do not include school condition allocations to multi-academy trusts
with schools in Hampshire.</p><p>While this funding is not aimed specifically at SCOLA
schools, it is allocated using a formula which takes into account data on the condition
of school buildings gathered through the Property Data Survey.</p><p>The Department
is updating its information on the condition of the school estate through the Condition
Data Collection, which will provide information on areas of the highest condition
need and drive our approach on how we invest in order to target them.</p><p>Schools
in Hampshire have also received £5,009,333 in devolved formula capital in 2016-17.
Fifteen academies in Hampshire also bid successfully for funding through the Condition
Improvement Fund last year. We expect to announce successful projects in this year’s
CIF round by April 2017.</p><p>Six schools in Hampshire are included in the £4.4 billion
Priority School Building Programme aimed at rebuilding or refurbishing those school
buildings in the very worst condition across the country.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
