Information required to assess Science and Technology Accommodation

DfES No:

School:

Science and Technology curriculum areas have been identified as priority areas for capital improvement in the LEA’s Asset Management Plan. We need information as to whether the amount of such accommodation at your school is sufficient.I would therefore be grateful if you would provide the following information by 7^th October 2002. The information you provide will be combined with the suitability data we already have.

In providing these figures please be aware of the fact that the count of the use of specialist teaching rooms must exclude:

· Use of the space for non-specialist lessons e.g. use of a laboratory for teaching a non-science based subject.

· Use of the space because of convenience or opportunity e.g. the space being available; a group that would normally fit into a single room is split into two to take advantage of the spare space.

Priorities

Have you already used your schools own resources on capital expenditure to resolve issues over specialist accommodation? If YES briefly what did you do, when did you do it and what was the total cost?

Do you plan to spend any of your resources to resolve issues over specialist accommodation? If YES briefly what do you plan to do, when do you plan to do it and what do you estimate the total cost to be?

We intend to advise schools of the outcome of this survey by the end of November 2002.

The outcome of this survey will be audited before any available funding is committed to individual schools.
