To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many schools in Enfield North have been rebuilt or improved under the Building Schools for the Future initiative over the last 10 years. (178808)

Enfield has not yet entered the Building Schools for the Future programme, which aims to renew all secondary schools in England where there is need, in 15 waves of investment which started in 2005-06. We have now announced the first six waves, which are prioritised on educational and social need. Enfield is prioritised in waves seven to nine of the programme which can access funding from 2011-12. We aim shortly to consult on the management of waves seven to 15.

In 2007, we gathered information from all authorities on the improvements to their school buildings over the previous 10 years. This “School Building Investment Data” is available in the parliamentary Libraries. The information supplied by Enfield included that it had built six new schools, four of which were additional schools, and had rebuilt over 50 per cent. of the floor area of a further three schools.
