Building Schools for the Future

Primary Capital Programme (PCP) - Strategy for Change (SfC)

From April 2009 the DCSF will make funding available to all Local Authorities through the Primary Capital Programme. In order to access this funding, every authority is required to submit a document called 'A Strategy for Change' (SfC) by 16 June 2008 which outlines the educational vision for primary schools in the context of this capital investment over the fourteen year programme. The main aim of the PCP is raising achievement and we are keen for this to be seen as an educational project and not just a building project.

Update on progress with the SfC

We have been working with colleagues across the department and with other partners including heads to prepare a first draft of this document.

The DCSF has set out guidelines for writing a SfC under the following headings:

• Local Perspective
• Baseline analysis
• Long term aims
• Approach to change
• Initial investment priorities
