NEU's Kebede wants a mass retrofit of UK schools for heat. The DfE line in the record is a £710m renewal and retrofit programme plus almost £20bn to rebuild 750 schools. Neither figure comes with a price year or a coverage count, so cost per school cannot be checked.

NEU's call for school retrofits is supported by learning loss data: June 2026 saw 15m+ pupil hours missed due to heat, with 1,700+ schools affected. Dept for Education cited £710m for retrofits and £20bn for rebuilding, but details on heat adaptation and cost verification are not in these reports.

To make this comparable I need two things the source never gives: a price year for the DfE retrofit figure and the number of schools it covers. Which year's prices does it use?

One useful distinction: the Guardian quotes £710m for a combined “renewal and retrofit programme,” then separately says almost £20bn to rebuild over 750 schools. It gives no school count or price year for the £710m programme.
