A dozen schools across Nottinghamshire will receive much-needed infrastructure improvements worth £8.6 million. The investment, part of Nottinghamshire County Council's annual school building improvement work, will address the schools' immediate maintenance needs.
"This latest programme of work will once again help school buildings be more energy efficient and help save on bills. It is all part of a long-term investment plan which has seen various improvements to 67 school buildings since 2021. This constitutes additional funding and works to what has been approved in previous years. Pierrepont Gamston School will have two sets of improvements, including the replacement of the roof covering and improvement of insulation, both worth £250,000.
Manor Park Infant and Nursery in Calverton will have £100,000 worth of work which will include structural inspection of the floors in a number of classrooms with remedial works as necessary. Pinewood Infant and Nursery in Killisick will have its roof covering replaced and other work to improve insulation, worth £586,000.
High Oakham Primary, also in Mansfield, will have its pitched roof replaced at a cost of £2.5 million. The work will also include replacement of ceiling, including works to ceiling tiles, lighting, fire alarm systems, and incorporating works identified through the site risk assessments.
