MP welcomes upgrade cash boost for three Redditch schools

Redditch Editorial 15th Jul, 2020   0

RIDGEWAY Academy, The Vaynor First School and the Kingfisher School are to benefit from new funding announced by the government.

The cash – £434million nationwide – is aimed at expanding classrooms and upgrading facilities.

It is part of a £1.4bn of capital funding for 2020-21 announced in April and is provided through the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF).

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has also announced a new ten year school rebuilding programme with more than £1bn earmarked for the first 50 projects in 2020-21.




Redditch MP Rachel Maclean said: “I went into politics because I believe every child, no matter their background, deserves access to a first-class education.

“Success in life shouldn’t be a postcode lottery or determined by the circumstances you were born in to.”
