A school which has been in "desperate" need of renovations for over a decade is finally set to receive improvements in the latest round of the Government's School Rebuilding Programme.
A total of 10 North East schools have been added to the list of schools which will be rebuilt or revamped in the latest round of the scheme, the Government has announced.
Among the schools to be renovated is Framwellgate School Durham, which headteacher Andy Byers says is currently not fit for purpose. Today he said he was "delighted" with the announcement after calling on the Government to make improvements to the school for a number of years.
