The latest programme of school infrastructure improvements worth £8.6 million has been unveiled by Nottinghamshire County Council, part of its annual school building improvement work which will be designed and delivered by Arc Partnership, a joint venture between the council and SCAPE.
A dozen schools will benefit from a range of improvements including roof replacements, drainage improvements and energy-efficient lighting and boiler upgrades.
Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Asset Management, Councillor Keith Girling, said: “Investing in our schools’ infrastructure is vital. Young people deserve to study and learn in buildings which are fit-for-purpose.
“We know that some schools were impacted by flooding earlier this year, so those schools most in need of improvements to their drainage systems are being prioritised. We have also secured some government money to help towards this work.

Planned improvements for 2024/5 include:
