The Primary Capital Programme (PCP) is a major national programme of capital investment in primary schools through to 2023. In Derby, we will receive £3.8m in the 2009/10 financial year and £6.2m in 2010/11. Thereafter, we could receive £3m a year.

Before the funding can be released, we have to submit a strategy – the “Primary Strategy for Change” – by the middle of June. We have to show that we are:

• taking the worst condition buildings out of use
• using the funding to transform education, particularly where there is low attainment and/or high deprivation
• reducing surplus places.

Consultation with Stakeholders

The draft strategy is out for consultation from 28 April until 19 May 2008. You can view the Primary Strategy for Change by clicking on the following link:
