The Department has so far appointed 32 primary schools across England to become English Hubs, backed by £26.3 million in funding. These schools, all with a background of excellent systematic synthetic phonics, are distributed across the country to benefit the areas that most need support. Each hub will identify specialist literacy teachers who will receive additional training as experts in teaching in early language and reading from reception year to key stage 1. Each hub is already holding events with local primary schools and over time each will work with up to 170 of them and build a network of excellent phonics teaching in every region.<\/p>
<\/p>
Through this work, the network of English Hubs will increase reading standards across the country and improve educational outcomes, including for the most disadvantaged children, particularly in underperforming schools.<\/p>"}

The Government has committed £7 billion of funding for school places between 2015 and 2021, on top of investment in the free schools programme. The school system is on track to create 1 million places this decade, the largest increase in school capacity for at least two generations.<\/p>
The Department collects pupil forecasts, existing school capacities, and plans to deliver additional school places from each local authority via the annual school capacity survey. Information from local authorities, together with information on centrally funded projects to add places, such as new free schools, is used to produce estimates of the future need for school places.<\/p>
The latest available estimates show that the 20 secondary planning areas within Nottinghamshire may require an additional 997 secondary school places by 2023/24 in order to meet forecast demand, of which Mansfield Secondary planning area may require 82 additional secondary school places.<\/p>
The latest published data held relates to the position in the 2016/17 academic year and includes secondary forecasts to 2023/24. Data for the 2017/2018 academic year are due to be published on 28 March 2019.<\/p>
Basic need allocations are based upon data supplied by local authorities themselves so there should be no shortfall between the number of places local authorities report they need to create, and the number the Department is funding.<\/p>

This was launched to help the Department develop a more comprehensive understanding of asbestos management in the school estate. This data collection has just closed, and responses are being analysed. The Department intends to publish the findings from this report in spring 2019.<\/p> <\/p> To help local authorities, governing bodies and academy trusts meet their legal duties and manage asbestos effectively, the Department refers to advice from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE). The Department also published \u2018Asbestos Management in Schools\u2019 guidance in February 2017. The HSE advice is clear that if asbestos is unlikely to be damaged or disturbed then it is best managed in situ. Although, the Department is also clear that when asbestos does pose a risk to safety and cannot be effectively managed in situ, it should be removed.<\/p> <\/p> Since 2015, the Department has allocated £6 billion to those responsible for school buildings and for essential maintenance and improvements, including removing or encapsulating asbestos when it is the safest course of action to do so. In addition, through the Priority School Building Programme, the Department is rebuilding or refurbishing buildings in the worst condition in over 500 schools across the country. Asbestos was a factor in selecting buildings for the programme.<\/p> <\/p>"}
