Government gives school in Clifton cash for building repairs
One school has been singled out by the Government for cash to help carry out repairs.
Clifton All Saints Academy, in Church Street, will receive a share of over £450 million being given to 684 schools across England.
The grant funding is part of a 10-year plan for schools and colleges – with some projects including updates to heating systems and electrical works as well as mending roofs.
The cash is being made available through the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) grants.
Schools minister, Josh MacAlister, said: “Opportunity for our children starts with a great education, and children can only learn well in buildings that are safe, warm and fit for purpose – not classrooms disrupted by leaking roofs, failing boilers and declining buildings.
“This funding will help schools tackle urgent issues before they become bigger and more costly problems.”
