Wallasey schools to share in £2.5bn programme

Children and students across Wallasey and Moreton are set to benefit from a share of a significant £2.5 billion boost so they can learn in high quality buildings and facilities that are fit for the future.

This follows the announcement in July, that Mosslands (pictured) and Riverside Primary School would be part of a £1 billion rebuilding programme.

Now, even more schools and colleges will receive investment to upgrade classrooms and refurbish buildings that will provide high quality learning environments – benefiting communities for years to come.

Schools in Wirral will now benefit from:

• £4.1m for maintaining and improving school buildings
• £591,000 for day-to-day repairs
• £381,000 to increase school places

Minister for Skills, Apprenticeships and Higher Education Robert Halfon added: "This significant investment will transform school and college buildings across the country so that they are fit for the future and can provide the best education for students, no matter where they live."

"We want every young person to have access to high-quality facilities and learning environments, to gain the skills they need to climb the ladder of opportunity into further study and work, whilst supporting efforts to grow the economy."
