More than half of schools seeking building replacements or repairs will not get cash under prime minister Boris Johnson’s flagship rebuilding programme.
The Department for Education plans to support 500 projects over a decade, but revealed today 1,105 schools had applied during a four-week application window earlier this year.
It means 54.8 per cent of applicants are likely to miss out. The DfE has previously admitted £11.4 billion of repairs are needed across England.
