Local primary is supposed to be getting new building, but can't seem to find out if announcement today by government means new building plans will be scrapped.

I'm waiting for the same thing for our local secondary but I can't find anything yet. What phase is your local school meant to be in?

ilovemydogandMrObama · 05/07/2010 17:00

Hasn't started, but has been in temporary classrooms for awhile now.

I think all the projects are in phases, those in phase 1 have been started and phase 2 have had the contracts agreed and will start in the next 6 months, phases 3 and 4 are further down the line and therefore more at risk.

This might only be secondary but the BBC have a list

hmm so is all the money going to go to the academy schools?

and i wonder why a new religious school is proposed for our over populated un religious town

It seems that Building Schools for the Future (BSF) is what has been affected by today's announcement, and this applies to seconnndaries. Planned work for primaries comes under Primary Capital Programme, and we have been told we will hear next week about the fate of our school's plans. Not holding out much hope though.

Ah, lulled into false security . Had a glimmer of hope as it wasn't in the list

As the primary capital program is running behind the BSF program I would suggest that there is little chance of much of this surviving the cuts in the short term.

However it is not necessarily a capital project based on national money if it is only one or two classrooms. Every LA has a level of capital funding each year and it could be coming from this. You need to ask at the school what the situation is.

It's a whole re build. The school is in temporary classrooms. Not looking good is it?

here ours has been stopped

gibba8 · 06/07/2010 19:22

Ours has been stopped too-gutted!

notagrannyyet · 06/07/2010 19:31

All of the new school building in our area had been stopped before this announcment anyway.

Don't suppose it will change now before youngest DS leaves school in 5 years time.

Hope thing improve for GC!

OMG, was really worried about this, as DH is a civil engineer and his company are doing a lot of the BSF work in Hull. And all the Hull ones are still going ahead!
