The Sustainable Communities for Learning (SCfL) Programme launched an innovative Sustainable Schools’ Challenge through the existing Programme and governance framework.
Building on the Net Zero Carbon mandate across the Programme introduced in January 2022, the Welsh Government invited applications from local authorities that could demonstrate innovative and collaborative design, development, delivery, and management of initially two new schools that could make a positive contribution to the environment and surrounding landscape. The collaboration expected from the Challenge included learners, staff, parents, community and supply chains through all stages of design, construction and operational life for a truly sustainable school.
Aimed at primary schools an allocation of up to £15 million at 100% intervention was allocated per project. Given the high calibre of entries funding was announced in March 2023 for three new sustainable schools.
