The conclusions have been drawn by a report into the state of school buildings published by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).
It has called for an “urgent review” of the PSBP, which is run by the Education Funding Agency (EFA) – which operates at arm’s length from the Department for Education (DfE).
The report also warns that a “prevalence of damp, leaky classrooms and asbestos-ridden buildings” means that many pupils and teachers are facing threats to their health and their education.
Better Spaces for Learning contains the largest ever analysis of primary and secondary school buildings in the UK, as well as interviews with both teachers and building experts.
