The Sustainable Communities for Learning Investment Programme (formerly the 21st Century Schools Programme) is a collaboration between the Welsh Government and Local Authorities.
It is a major, long-term, and strategic capital investment programme with the aim of creating a generation of excellent zero carbon learning facilities at the heart of their communities across Wales.
Through Cardiff's existing education investment, in partnership with Welsh Government's Communities for Learning Programme, the Council has invested over £460m into the school estate.
This development has been made possible through securing, combining and prioritising funding from a variety of sources, including:
- Welsh Government's Sustainable Communities for Learning Investment Programme and other Welsh Government Capital Grants,
- funding from the Council's capital programme,
- Salix funding for carbon reduction schemes, and
- Local Development Plan contributions to develop school places to serve new residential communities.
