The Council has a five year maintenance programme of CYP properties that is reviewed each year based on funding available, condition of facilities and urgent items that arise during the year.  The Council also provides assistance to improve the security and suitability of schools as well as operating the Seed Challenge programme that part funds school promoted improvements that meet set criteria. 

The CYP buildings planned maintenance and suitability programmes are funded by 100% Department for Education Capital Maintenance Grant. Bromley’s allocation for 2012?13 is £2,576,170, and in line with previous years a budget of £600,000 has been allocated to improve the ‘suitability’ of school buildings. This is split between the Seed Challenge programme, Security and Suitability improvements.
