Issue - meetings

The Board considered a report of the Strategic Director, People, which provided a summary of the Schools Capital Programmes for 2020/21.

The Board was advised that the Department for Education (DfE) had not yet announced the Capital Grant Allocation for 2020/21 at the time of writing the report. However, given the timescales for some of the capital projects, the report used the 2019/20 allocation as the basis for presenting the report to the Board.

            The report set out details of the indicative funding available to support capital projects across the school estate as well as how the School Condition Allocation would be utilised.

Alternative Options Considered and Rejected

2)    the proposals to be funded from the School Condition Capital Allocation, be approved; and

3)    Council be recommended to approve the Capital Allocations for inclusion in the Budget report.
