Rebuilding our schools and our economy

This week the Prime Minister has announced over £1 billion to kickstart a 10 year school rebuilding programme, including substantial investment in the North and Midlands, as part of our plan to level up and spread opportunity across the country as we recover from coronavirus.

All children deserve the best possible start in life – regardless of their background or where they live.   That is why we are beginning a transformative 10-year rebuilding programme with over £1 billion for the first 50 projects in 2020-21. Schools and colleges will also receive funding this year to refurbish buildings and continue raising standards across the country.   As we bounce back from the pandemic, it’s important we lay the foundations for a country where everyone has the opportunity to succeed, with our younger generations front and centre of this mission.
