The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many (a) primary and (b) secondary school buildings will be (a) sold, (b) refurbished and (c) demolished between 2025 and 2030.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

The department supports responsible bodies, such as local authorities and charitable trusts, that own and manage the school estate, with capital funding, building programmes and extensive guidance. The department does not generally hold data on planned sales, refurbishment or demolition of primary and secondary school buildings by these bodies.
