Ruth Sharp

Head of Triage, Selection and Programme Policy, Education Estates

Department for Education

I oversee the prioritisation of schools and sixth form colleges for rebuilding under the School Rebuilding Programme. As part of the Education Estates Strategy, I am responsible for the strategy and policy of the Improve and Renew Pillar; specifically developing the new Renewal and Retrofit Programme and realising our longer-term vision for prioritising funding in a different way as part of Estates Data Collection. I am also facilitating changes to our communication with the sector, designing a single route of entry for queries into Education Estates and a triage function to assess issues for support and funding in the future.
