Schools investment

Southwark’s school investment programme

As London grows, and more and more people choose to call the capital home, making sure we have enough school places for current and future generations has become a priority for councils like Southwark. To help address this, Southwark Council has invested £200m into schools across the borough to provide 4,000 additional school places and create modern and exciting learning environments for local children.

In addition the council continues to invest more than £3m per annum in repairs to all its schools to ensure that the buildings are properly maintained with to support teaching and learning.   

The schools that have or are benefitting from council investment since 2016 include:
