As part of the Government's Condition Improvement Fund, Cross Farm Infant Academy, alongside Collingwood College and Carwarden House Community School, are set to receive additional funding to help refurbish and repair school buildings.
These schools, alongside 856 others in the country, are to receive a share of a £456 million pot created to help refurbish and repair school buildings. The condition improvement funding will ensure that pupils can learn in safe, warm and energy efficient classrooms.
Overall, the government has committed £1.8 billion of capital funding for the financial year 2023 to 2024 to improve the condition of school buildings – including £1.1 billion for local authorities, large multi-academy trusts and voluntary aided bodies announced in March.
The announcement follows on from 239 new school buildings confirmed in December as part of the Schools Rebuilding Programme, with 400 out of 500 schools and sixth-form colleges having been selected for rebuilds through the 10-year programme including Collingwood College.
