Funding will help improve and upgrade grammar school in Rugby
A school in Rugby will benefit from more funding to improve and upgrade the building.
The Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) grants worth over £450 million will give 684 schools and sixth-form colleges – including Lawrence Sheriff – funding to help to replace heating systems, mend roofs and update electrical works, among other projects, after years of declining buildings.
The funding forms part of a wider package of investment in programmes including the School Rebuilding Programme which is rebuilding and refurbishing schools across the country, including those whose buildings contained dangerous RAAC materials.
Rugby MP John Slinger said: “Parents across Rugby will remember the significant concern of the RAAC crisis, the fear that children were no longer safe in their own school because of years of Tory neglect.
“Labour is turning the page through our Plan for Change, literally fixing the foundations of our schools so local children are in a safe environment where the can achieve and thrive.”
