Tang Hall Primary School is one of sixty-one schools across the country that are set to receive state of the art rebuilds or refurbishments as part of the third round of the School Rebuilding Programme.
In his first announcement as Education Secretary, James Cleverly confirmed the investment to provide thousands of children access to new, modern classrooms as part of the Prime Minister’s flagship School Rebuilding Programme.
The projects will be backed by over £1bn of funding.
Work to deliver the projects will start immediately. It will include updating and modernising buildings, and creating state of the art facilities such as new sports halls, music rooms, science labs and dining areas.
Education Secretary James Cleverly said:
Our School Rebuilding Programme is already making a difference to the lives of pupils and their teachers. It is creating greener school sites that are fit for the future and that local communities can be proud of.
We know how important it is to have high-quality school facilities. That is why we continue to invest billions in our rebuilding programme.
The commitment to rebuild and refurbish the schools most in need is part of Government’s wider Schools White Paper commitments, to ensure that by 2030 every child will be taught a broad and ambitious curriculum, with access to high-quality extra-curricular provision, in a school with high expectations and strong standards of behaviour.
To achieve this, staff and pupils need access to top facilities.
Alongside the new rebuilding programme, the Government has committed £1.8 billion in financial year 2022-23 for maintaining and improving the school estate, as part of £13.1 billion allocated since 2015.
