Projects Team and Capital Building Programme

The Directorate of Children's Services are committed to achieving the best possible design for schools to support the hard working staff and the learning of the children.

Our Projects team, in conjunction with colleagues in Property Services, can support schools in ascertaining needs, undertaking feasibility, identifying funds and developing a scheme.

The main task of the Projects Team is to oversee Worcestershire’s Capital Programme as it relates to accommodation within the Directorate of Children’s Services. Projects range in scale and value from small internal improvements right through to new department blocks and total school replacements.

Please note that the Capital Programme indicates schemes where there is a financial commitment in 2008-11 and this is updated as an on-going process as work is developed and implemented.  It does not mean that other work, for example relating to the Wyre Forest Programme, is not being detailed in readiness for implementation and those schools are being engaged in this process as per the original outline start programme.
