BREEAM for Schools - status so far
Have I mentioned before how much I love Theyworkforyou.com? Yes, I believe I have. Pinging into my inbox today a great Q&A regarding schools and BREEAM:
David Willets asks:
how many schools have completed the BREEAM schools assessment process; and what rating they have achieved?
Jim Knight replies:
The numbers of schools that have registered for BREEAM Schools certification now stands at 470 up from 347 in December 2006. Of these, 459 are currently undergoing assessment.
11 schools have now completed the assessment process; four in England and seven in Scotland. In England, two schools achieved a “good” rating, one a “pass” rating, and one a “very good” rating. All seven schools in Scotland achieved a “good” rating.
For your information, a ‘Very Good’ is between 55% and 70% and is the pre-requisite for capital funding under BSF (Building Schools for the Future). I’d love to know if the 3 in England which didn’t make the ‘Very Good’ grade got their funding (if it was applicable)? (The 7 schools in Scotland would not affected by BSF funding, although it is likely that the assessment was carried out for some funding requirement). And if anyone was held liable if they didn’t?
No-one’s got an ‘Excellent’ (over 70%) yet…

Could somebody tell me if there are any official government statistics available for the result of school that have completed the BREEAM assessment? Also of all the schools that have completed the BREEAM assessment how many are in the process of undergoing major refurbishment works in order to achieve the best possible BREEAM rating, how many are new schools under construction and how many are existing schools already occupied?
