Between 2017 and 2019, the department’s Condition Data Collection (CDC) programme visited every government-maintained school in England to collect data about the physical condition of the school estate. We are preparing detailed analysis of the data collected for the CDC programme and plan to publish by the end of the year.

The key, high-level findings of the CDC programme, were published in May 2021 in the report ‘Condition of School Buildings Survey – Key Findings’. The report is available at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/989912/Condition_of_School_Buildings_Survey_CDC1_-_key_findings_report.pdf.

In 2019, departmental officials visited every further education (FE) college in England to collect similar data to provide a comprehensive picture of the condition of the college estate. Further details on this process can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/condition-data-collection-programme-information-and-guidance. A report outlining the high-level findings of the FE CDC programme will be published in due course.
