Property planning

The 10 Year Property Plan (10YPP) is the main planning tool used by schools. It sets out a schedule of capital and maintenance property work for the next 10 years.

We provide 5YA funding to schools for capital property work on Crown-owned buildings. The funding covers a 5-year period, and aligns with your school’s 10 Year Property Plan.

Boards can use the school property guide (SPG) calculator to work out how much space your school needs for both teaching and non-teaching use, based on your student roll.

We may fund and manage a site extension for your school if we can show it’s the best solution to resolve an issue.

School boards are responsible for the maintenance of school property, and should create and follow a maintenance plan.

If your school has property it no longer needs or uses, the school board can decide to release it. This means they no longer need to cover the cost of maintaining surplus property.
