Asset management

School buildings have an important part to play in delivering improvements in educational standards. They are valuable assets and need to be managed effectively both on a day-to-day basis and strategically.

To assist in the process of strategic decision making, the LA is working with its partners to further develop and implement the asset management plan (AMP) (word).

This plan provides the basis for prioritising needs and determining the respective responsibilities of the LA, schools and diocesan education boards.

It will have important links to other plans such as the LA's Children and Young Peoples plan and school organisation plans as well as council-wide regeneration activities and the corporate AMP'.
