However, cost savings from larger schools have generally not materialized, as larger schools require more administrative support staff, and rural areas see the potential savings offset by increased transportation costs. Larger schools can also support more specialization, such as splitting students into advanced, average, and basic tracks , offering

270-417: A specialist science laboratory for 30 needs to be 90 m .

540-409: The 'minimum' space and cost standards to be reduced. The UK government published this downwardly revised space formula in 2014.
