MCC Approach to Community Use

condition of the capital investment) via …• Community Hub Statements – agreements between
the schools and the local authority establishing priorities and opportunities for community use
• Not limited by PFI agreements• Limited by ongoing school commitment – but reinforced
by inspection / improvement frameworks, e.g. OFSTED, SIPs

Before After
Facilities Management Issues• Best results achieved where schools have dedicated
personnel, e.g. Gorton Education Village – 80% increase in community use - the Estates Director more than pays for herself from income generated from e.g. weddings
• The school occupies a different place in its community
