answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/06/2022 answer text <p>I refer the hon. Member for Twickenham to the answer I gave on 27 May 2022 to Question <a href="https://questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questions/detail/2022-05-19/5498" target="_blank">5498</a>. There are no open school or college buildings where the department is aware of an imminent risk to life. Very occasionally, we will need to support a responsible body, such as an academy trust, which takes a decision to close part, or all, of a school for safety reasons, while the necessary remedial works are carried out.</p><p>Given the age and design life of some schools, the department expects that some school buildings will need to be replaced in future. For this reason, we have launched a 10-year School Rebuilding Programme which will deliver 500 rebuilding and refurbishment projects at schools across England, transforming education for hundreds of thousands of pupils. We also provide annual condition funding to schools and those responsible for school buildings, to ensure schools remain safe and in good working order. Since 2015, £13.1 billion in condition funding has been allocated, including £1.8 billion committed for the 2022/23 financial year. Allocations are informed by consistent data on the condition of schools, and we also provide extensive guidance on safe and effective management of the school estate.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 08/06/2022 16:42:43 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/10/2021 answer text <p>The department is aware of the condition issues facing the All Saints Roman Catholic School. The former Minister for the School System, my noble Friend, Baroness Berridge, met with the hon. member for York Central, as well as representatives from the school, the Diocese of Middlesbrough and York City Council in June to discuss this matter, and a capital adviser from the department visited the school in July to understand the condition need of the school. My noble Friend, the Minister for the School System, will also write to the hon. member for York Central to cover the issues in more detail.</p><p>Overall, the department allocated £1.8 billion in funding in 2021-22 to maintain and improve school condition. Local authorities, large multi academy trusts and large voluntary-aided bodies receive a School Condition Allocation to invest in priorities across the schools for which they are responsible.</p><p>Our aim for this condition funding is to ensure that responsible bodies receive a fair share of the available budget that takes into account their relative investment needs. The funding methodology for 2021-22 has been updated with the latest data from the school Condition Data Collection, which provides a high-level assessment of the relative condition of state funded schools. We expect responsible bodies to use their own detailed condition reports and knowledge to prioritise investment across their schools to address condition issues, including structural issues.</p><p>The Diocese of Leeds and the Diocese of Middlesbrough received a combined School Condition Allocation of £3,112,383 in 2021-22 to invest in improving the condition of their schools.</p><p>All Saints Roman Catholic School also received a Devolved Formula Capital payment of £32,247 in 2021-22 to spend on their capital priorities.</p><p>Over and above condition allocations, the department has also launched a new School Rebuilding Programme with a commitment to 500 projects over the next decade and has already announced the first 100 schools. We are consulting on how we will prioritise future places on the School Rebuilding Programme, and we welcome views from those with an interest in how the condition of the school estate is maintained and funded, including bodies responsible for school buildings. The department encourages All Saints Roman Catholic School, the diocese of Middlesbrough and York City Council to take part in the consultation and share their views on the future prioritisation of projects for the programme.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker grouped question UIN 53962 53963 question first answered 18/10/2021 16:15:04 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
