To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the Department's most recent assessment is of the cost of tackling the condition defects at Berwick Academy; and if she will publish that assessment.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what the Department's most recent assessment is of the cost of tackling the condition defects at Berwick Academy; and if she will publish that assessment.
The School Rebuilding Programme (SRP) carries out major rebuilding and refurbishment projects at schools and sixth form college buildings across England. Schools and sixth-form colleges in the worst condition are prioritised in areas where places are needed now and in the future.
The department may include cases where severe and urgent need for rebuilding is identified outside the main prioritisation rounds. This was the case for Churchill Community College. Decisions on individual schools are taken on their own merits and do not determine the outcome for other schools.
Berwick Academy has been nominated for the current round of the SRP and will be considered alongside other eligible schools as part of the national prioritisation process. The department has been clear that that the route for funding investment in rebuilding is through the SRP and the school will need to be assessed through that process. We have no plans to provide separate rebuilding funding outside of that process. Decisions on the additional 250 schools due to join the SRP are expected by early 2027.
The department is aware of concerns regarding the condition of Berwick Academy's buildings. While the department does not hold a recent assessment of the full cost of addressing all condition issues at the school, information provided locally has informed discussions regarding its future capital needs and its nomination to the SRP.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will consider the potential merits of providing part-funding to Northumberland County Council for the rebuilding of Berwick Academy, following the Council's commitment of £37 million of local funding to deliver the project.

- first treatment 'with a therapist' is defined as attended care contacts that are not recorded as one of the guided or non-guided self help therapies; and

That this House warmly salutes Dame Norma Redfearn who has recently retired after a long and successful life in education and as the Mayor of North Tyneside Council; recognises her pioneering work over thirty years in primary and secondary schools during which one of her schools won a prestigious award from the Royal Institute of British architects for its playground design and she established a breakfast club, supported by Greggs, to increase attendance and attainment as well as a community wing where parents could secure qualifications; notes that she became the first headteacher to receive the prize for Public Management Leadership from the Office for Public Management in 1997; further salutes her work as a councillor and three terms with increased majorities as Mayor during which she transformed Whitley Bay’s seafront and the Spanish City dome that vastly improved the image of the town while she also led the pursuit of devolution for the North East; and believes that these achievements and dedication to public service explain why she is widely known in the North East by her first name and respected as a proud and determined daughter of Wallsend, the trade union movement and the Labour Party.
