Leighton Buzzard school to get cash to improve buildings
A school in Leighton Buzzard will get money from the government to go toward upgrading and refurbishing their buildings.
The Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) grants will help replace heating systems, mend roofs and update electrical works.
Oak Bank School, in Sandy Lane, will get money from the fund.
By improving classrooms, the government says it is “providing the opportunities children need to succeed in education and prepare for future careers”.
Schools Minister, Josh MacAlister said: “This funding will help schools tackle urgent issues before they become bigger and more costly problems.
“It is part of our longer-term plan to break the cycle of schools and colleges doing patch-and-mend repairs, by committing to unprecedented long-term funding to improve the school and college estate – because world-class classrooms are key in helping children to achieve and thrive.”
