Sixty-one schools will be rebuilt or refurbished through a £1 billion fund, the Government has announced.
In James Cleverly’s first announcement as Education Secretary, he said the schools would either receive “state of the art” rebuilds or refurbishments.
The investment to provide modern classrooms for thousands of pupils forms part of the Government’s flagship School Rebuilding Programme, with work on the rebuilds starting immediately.
Buildings will be updated and modernised, while new sports halls, music rooms, science laboratories and dining areas will be included as part of the scheme.
The Government said the buildings will be net-zero carbon in operation.
