The government is committing over £1bn to fund the first 50 projects of a new, ten-year school rebuilding programme, starting from 2020-21. These projects will be confirmed in the autumn, and construction on the first sites will begin from September 2021.

Funding for these measures, including Barnett consequentials, will be set out at the Comprehensive Spending Review later this year.
