Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make new capital funding available for school buildings in Bury North constituency; and if she will meet with (a) the hon. Member for Bury North, (b) representatives from The Derby High School and (c) Bury Council to discuss that funding.

Ensuring schools have the resources and buildings they need is a key part of our mission to break down barriers to opportunity and give every child the best start in life.

The department is committed to improving the condition of the estate through the department’s annual funding, the continuing school rebuilding programme and by fixing the problem of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete.

We will set out further details on wider spending plans, including for capital funding, following upcoming fiscal events.
