Levelling Up School Funding

Rachel has welcomed news that schools in Worcestershire will receive £473 million this year – a boost of £33 million as part of the Government’s commitment to level up school funding.

Ten schools in Redditch are hosting a summer school over the school holidays as part of the Government’s £200 million Summer School Programme.

The summer schools will provide a range of extra-curricular and academic catch-up activities to boost young people’s opportunities to catch-up.

Four schools in Redditch County will be getting extra cash thanks to the Government’s £483 million funding pot to help schools carry out improvement works.

Rachel officially open Pitcheroak School’s new school house last Friday (May 21st).

Just under £300,000 has been invested in the school to provide additional places and to improve the accommodation. 

Rachel has welcomed the announcement that Heart of Worcestershire College in Redditch will benefit from £1,055,424 to upgrade its facilities.

Rachel is continuing to deliver on her promise to secure fairer funding for Redditch’s schools after it was announced total funding will rise by more than four per cent this coming school year.

Councils will now be legally required to ensure every secondary school pupil receives at least £5,000 in funding and every primary school pupil receives at least £3,750 following legislation backed by Rachel Maclean, MP for Redditch.
