Delivering educational improvements

The following objective is from the Core Strategy.

Improvements in education are vital to enable everyone to share in Plymouth’s growing prosperity. Good quality buildings and facilities are important to create attractive learning environments.

The plan supports the development of a range of educational facilities. This includes childcare and early years learning through to higher education establishments. We monitor education developments to determine whether improvements are on track.

Did you know that:

• Seven new schools have been built and one has been completed in part.
• The remaining three schools of the six planned primary schools have yet to be built.
• The planned Dental Schools at Devonport and Derriford have both been completed.

Since our targets were set there has been a significant change to the allocations of capital finance for schools. This will affect the way that future school spaces are delivered.

Find out more about the delivery of our education building programme, by looking at the following sections:

• New Primary Schools
