The Department for Education have announced The School Estate Management Standards, described as an overarching principle to help schools manage their estates effectively. It represents the first new estates guidance issued by the current government and provides a clearer indication on their approach to school estate management.
Last week’s Spring Statement offered little new information for those interested in capital spending on school buildings. Greater clarity is expected following the June Spending Review, where the government will outline its plans for spending and key public sector reforms. While we await further details, here is what we currently know about school maintenance funding and 2025-26 allocations.
