Bulwell Academy is set to receive more than £125,000 in funding from Nottingham City Council. The money, which was approved earlier this month, will go towards supporting more secondary school places at the academy in Squires Avenue.
£128,000 will be handed over by Nottingham City Council as part of their basic need grant. It will fund two projects - one reconfiguring break out and communal spaces to create additional classroom space and refitting the food technology room to support the increase in pupil numbers.
With the increasing student numbers, the academy will now convert areas into dedicated classroom spaces. The original food technology building incorporated a catering kitchen, which has remained unusable due to its configuration and layout. This will now be converted into a more conventional food technology room.
