<p>The 2013 Spending Round confirmed the levels of capital funding that the Department
for Education will receive between 2015 and 2021. This settlement will enable the
Department to develop a long-term approach, allowing us to consider making allocations
over a number of years, which would help schools, sixth-form colleges and their responsible
bodies to plan with greater confidence.</p><p>I am clear that in future years our
funding should be better targeted to where it is most needed, and it is for this reason
that the Department is currently collecting up to date information on the condition
of school buildings, including sixth-form colleges, through a comprehensive survey.
This survey is due to be completed by the summer and it is our intention that the
results will be used to inform the allocation of capital maintenance funding from
2015-16.</p>
