The education sector in the UK will play a critical role in positively responding to climate change and inspiring action on an international stage. The Department\u2019s vision is for the UK education sector to be a world leader in sustainability and climate change by 2030. The Department is helping to create a sustainable future through education, developing the skills needed for a green economy, and supporting all sectors to reach net zero targets. That is why well maintained, safe and energy efficient school buildings are a priority for the Department.<\/p>

Over £15 billion has been allocated for improving the condition of schools since 2015, including £1.8 billion committed this financial year. The school rebuilding programme will also transform buildings at 500 schools over the next decade, prioritising schools in poor condition and delivering new buildings which are net carbon zero in operation. To date, 400 schools have been announced, including 239 in December 2022. In 2022/23 the department announced an additional £500 million in funding to improve buildings at schools and colleges, prioritising energy efficiency. Up to £635 million over the financial years 2023/24 and 2024/25 has been made available through the public sector decarbonisation scheme for installing low carbon heating and energy efficiency measures in public buildings, with a minimum of 30% going to education settings.<\/p>

It is the responsibility of those who run schools, whether academy trusts, Local Authorities, or voluntary-aided school bodies, to invest in and manage the maintenance of their school estates. The department does not hold an up-to-date assessment of the capacity schools have in solar panels, heat pumps, smart meters and wind turbines. The Department\u2019s ongoing condition survey, Condition Data Collection 2, will give us a better understanding once it is complete in 2026.<\/p>

Governors may resign at any time for their own reasons; they do not need to tell the Department for Education or their fellow governors why.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department's preference is for small and manageable, skill-based strategic governing bodies as these are more effective, and it will normally recommend this when an academy trust is first formed. The governance arrangements for an academy trust are set out in its articles of association.<\/p>

<\/p>

Park View Educational Trust has told the Department that there was a need to rationalise the governing body to ensure it could operate more effectively, and in order to comply with the Department's preferred model when other academies joined the trust to form a multi-academy trust.<\/p>

<\/p>

We are aware of the serious allegations made in relation to some local authority schools and academies in Birmingham. Park View Academy has recently been inspected by Ofsted, and officials from the Department have also visited the school. We will not hesitate to take firm action if the high standards and requirements expected of schools are not being met \u2013 in particular, where we become aware of issues of concern in an academy we will move quickly to resolve these. It would not be appropriate to comment further at this time.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1605", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Edward Timpson"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Crewe and Nantwich"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Edward Timpson"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-04-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-04-07T12:00:00.00Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-04-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, for what reasons eight of the 13 governors from Park View Academy resigned within five months of its transfer to academy status.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1392", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Khalid Mahmood"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birmingham, Perry Barr"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Khalid Mahmood"} ], "uin" : "195027"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 3, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
