The Department for Education's School Rebuilding Programme carries out major rebuilding and refurbishment projects at school and sixth form college buildings across England, with buildings prioritised according to their condition.
Officers have worked with Department for Education to provide relevant information to inform the programme and welcome the opportunity to provide advice on the scope and scale of proposals in Lancashire. Officers also provide support to school leadership teams, where required, as end-users of the rebuilt premises. Officers will continue to support the Department for Education in their efforts to gather information and prepare for future waves of the programme.
The Department for Education provides a suite of documents which capture the high-level agreement of relevant stakeholders in relation to each specific school project. Officers are in negotiation with the Department for Education to ensure that the necessary protections and agreements are in place and reflect the scope of works to be carried out.
