More than 20 schools across Nottinghamshire will receive improvements worth £9.5 million with work ranging from replacing ceilings to renovating kitchens. Nottinghamshire County Council has released details of an investment programme that will see primaries in areas such as Mansfield and Newark receiving upgrades.
As well as the infrastructure work, a brand new permanent school is set to open next September in East Leake as part of a £14 million project which has already provided a temporary building in the area. Meanwhile, part of a £60 million Government fund will be used to expand the Newark Orchard School and to open a Special Educational Needs and Disabilities facility at the King Edward School in Mansfield.
Finally, a new primary school will be created in Rushcliffe and two current schools in the area will be expanded. In terms of the infrastructure upgrades, Nottinghamshire County Council says 23 primary and infant schools will benefit over the next two years.
