TWO MALVERN schools will benefit from an annual fund totalling £450 million which allows schools to carry out urgent repair work.
Great Malvern Primary School and Castlemorton Primary School have both been awarded funding from the annual Condition Improvement Fund which supports schools to carry out much needed work which may fall outside of the annual repair budgeting.
Great Malvern Primary will carry out roof repairs and Castlemorton School with carry out emergency lighting and alarm improvements.
West Worcestershire MP Dame Harriett said: “Each year, the Department for Education considers applications from schools to access additional repair funds and from time to time, a school asks me to support a bid, which I am more than happy to do.
“The Condition Improvement Fund is made available to schools each year to support urgent, unplanned repair work and often it is a vital source of cash to help schools get their classrooms and buildings into a better state.
“This fund operates alongside the School Rebuilding Programme which was created in 2020 and is supporting major classroom improvements at Pershore High School.
“Schools in West Worcestershire were not afflicted by the reinforced and aerated concrete problems found in some parts of the UK.”
