A number of schools across the North East are set to be rebuilt or revamped, the Government has announced.
In his first announcement as Education Secretary, James Cleverly has confirmed that cash will be available through the latest round of the School Rebuilding Programme. And schools in areas including County Durham, Newcastle, Northumberland, Sunderland, North Tyneside and Gateshead have been approved for investment.
Work to deliver the projects will start immediately and will include the revamp of old buildings and the provision of facilities such as new sports halls, music rooms, science labs and dining areas. The new school buildings will be net-zero carbon when in operation.
