Michael Gove MP has welcomed the announcement that Collingwood College has been selected as one of the latest 239 schools that will be rebuilt or substantially refurbished as part of the fourth round of the Government’s School Rebuilding Programme.
The funding for Collingwood College will help to deliver state-of-the-art learning environments for pupils, such as new classrooms, science labs, sports halls, and dining halls. The majority of the projects are set to be completed in three to five years.
The new buildings will be more energy efficient for future winter resilience, helping schools keep bills down and meeting our Net Zero commitments.
As well as delivering world-class learning environments for pupils, the School Rebuilding Programme will also create opportunities, jobs, and apprenticeships – from the construction industry to suppliers, businesses will be offering training as part of their involvement in the projects.
Commenting, Michael said:
“The quality of facilities in schools can have a significant impact on a student’s learning and I have been working closely with Conservative colleagues to secure investment in our schools to offer children the best opportunity to succeed.
“That is why I welcome the news that Collingwood College will benefit from the latest round of the School Rebuilding Programme."
