Guidance: Schedule of accommodation tools for schools and colleges

Department For Education

Details

This guidance is used by DfE to identify the likely type and number of spaces in school and college projects. It can also be used to help with other education building projects.

The guidance is also for:

  • school and college providers
  • local authorities
  • dioceses
  • building professionals

The Primary school schedule of accommodation tool and Secondary school schedule of accommodation tool are not accessible because they include tables with complex structures and hard to read text contrast. This means they do not meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines success criteria 1.3.2 meaningful sequence and 1.4.3 contrast. Our teams are working to fix it by December 2024.
