- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to page 11 of the Government's Loneliness strategy, whether he has issued guidance to schools on using their grounds as public community spaces.
- Answer
-
The Department is developing guidance for schools which will include advice on how schools can use their premises for community use. This guidance will set out different types of income generation activities including letting out premises, working with local businesses, selling goods and services, and applying for grants. The Department intends to publish this on GOV.UK in due course.
The Department’s aim is to level the playing field between schools in their ability to generate income and help them build strong community links at the same time.
