Levelling Up School Funding

Two schools in Redditch are set to receive a share of almost £450 million to make improvements to buildings.

It is through the latest round of the Government’s £456 million Condition Improvement Fund (CIF).

Rachel has welcomed an extra £2,142,282 in Government funding for schools in Redditch and the Villages.

It’s part of an extra £2 billion the Government is investing in schools this year and next, with every state school in England benefitting.

Tudor Grange Academy has successfully secured £27,180 in Government funding to buy new sports equipment.

The grant will provide greater access and opportunities for students to access extra-curricular sport and physical activity.

Rachel has welcomed a £34 million funding boost for Worcestershire’s schools.

The total funding for schools in the county will rise from £498.6 million in 2022/23 to £532.6 million in 2023/24.

Rachel has welcomed new figures showing that 10,670 new apprenticeships have been created in Redditch since 2010.

As well as driving up the number of people boosting their skills through apprenticeships, the Government’s reforms are also improving the quality of apprenticeships.

Rachel was put through her paces when she was quizzed by students from Trinity High School.

On a recent visit to the Easemore Road school, the town’s MP joined the Politics and Debate Club for a question and answer session.

Rachel has welcomed the announcement that Arrow Vale High School has been selected as one of the latest 239 schools that will be rebuilt or substantially refurbished as part of the Government’s School Rebuilding Programme.

Writing in this week's Redditch Standard (December 9th), Rachel said:

“It was wonderful to visit Holyoakes Field First School and Nursery once again – this time at its new home in Cookridge Close following the school’s move from Bridge Street.

Rachel has praised the facilities at the newly refurbished Worcestershire Construction Centre in Redditch.

The town’s MP recently helped cut the ribbon at the official opening of Heart of Worcestershire College’s construction facilities at Alliance House.

Three schools in Redditch are set to receive a share of almost £500 million to make improvements to buildings.

It is through the latest round of the Government’s £498 million Condition Improvement Fund (CIF).
