Dame Caroline Dinenage, Member of Parliament for Gosport, has welcomed the news that St Vincent College is set to receive a grant as part of the Condition Improvement Fund.

859 academies, sixth-form colleges and voluntary aided schools will receive a share of £456 million from the Condition Improvement Fund, with over 1,000 projects selected.

This new investment will upgrade and improve school and college facilities, providing pupils with safer and warmer classrooms, and more energy efficient school buildings.

The announcement follows on from the 239 new school buildings confirmed in December as part of the Schools Rebuilding Programme, with 400 out of 500 schools and sixth form colleges now selected for rebuilds through the ten-year programme.

St Vincent College, located in Caroline’s constituency, is one of the 1,000 projects selected to receive the Condition Improvement Funding.

Commenting, Caroline said:

“We have a world-leading education system, and pupils need to have high-quality facilities to study effectively and succeed.

“I welcome that Gosport is getting its share of the Condition Improvement Fund, ensuring that St Vincent’s can invest in improving its energy efficiency, and safety. This will help to make sure that our young people can learn in warm, safe & high-quality facilities.”

Commenting, Minister for the School System, Baroness Diana Barran MBE said:

“Our Condition Improvement Fund has already completed over ten thousand projects, making a difference to pupils and teachers across the country. These projects help to create safer learning environments that make a difference to the quality of education for pupils.

“It’s hugely important that every school has access to high-quality learning facilities and these funding allocations will make sure that responsible bodies can start to plan ahead and get projects started to replace roofs, boilers and windows–so pupils and teachers can learn and work in a comfortable space.”
