Cherilyn Mackrory MP has welcomed the announcement that schools in Truro and Falmouth will benefit from funding to improve school facilities.

Truro and Falmouth has been allocated its share of the £434 million investment to expand classrooms, upgrade facilities and improve the education of children across the whole country.

Cherilyn said:

"Coronavirus has taken a toll on us all, not least our children, who have been kept from their friends, their teachers and their schools."

"As we exit lockdown we must focus on getting children back to school – and ensure that schools have the facilities and classrooms they need to support the high-quality education our children deserve."

"This funding will help ensure all children have the very best possible schools and education, enabling them to gain all the knowledge and skills they need for success."

Penair and Pencalenick schools will receive funding to ensure they have well-maintained facilities to provide students with safe environments that support a high-quality education.

It is part of the £1.4 billion of capital funding for 2020-21 announced in April and is provided through the Condition Improvement Fund (CIF).

On top of this, the Prime Minister has also announced a new transformative 10-year school rebuilding programme. This will be kick-started with over £1 billion for the first 50 projects in 2020-21.

This new investment will ensure our schools and colleges can focus on teaching, with brand new buildings and better facilities.

Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson added:

"As we look forward to this September and all children returning to school, we can be assured that for years to come this country's education system will drive opportunity and prosperity for all."
