Abstract

Aims to: highlight the benefits of refurbishing some buildings and replacing others; show how the basic budget for each school will be set; give some guidance on how schools can make the best use of their budget and identify the option that best suits their vision and ethos; and highlight what schools and local authorities can do now to ensure that all the available capital funding is used as effectively as possible - whether they are due for major funding soon or later. It concentrates on mainstream secondary schools, although middle-school and further-education examples are used where relevant to highlight design approaches.
