John Baron MP welcomes £1.8 billion for school maintenance and repairs

MP: Local schools eligible for their share

The annual allocations provided to maintain school buildings will increase by over 20% this financial year to £1.8 billion, on top of the one-off funding injection of £560 million announced by the Prime Minister last year. Every school in England will be access a share of the £1.8 billion to keep their buildings in the best possible condition.

John said,

“I welcome this over-20% increase to the annual allocations for maintenance and repairs – £1.8 billion, in addition to the existing £560 million, will make a real difference to schools across the country, and our local schools should receive their fair share in due course.”
