A SCHOOL improvement plan which will see maintenance and upgrades carried out has been approved by Staffordshire County Council cabinet.
The 2026-27 programme would see roof repairs and the replacement of modular buildings at King Edward VI School, while Chasetown Community School and Fulfen Primary School will also see roof works carried out.
Elsewhere, Chase Terrace Primary School is set to benefit from toilet refurbishment.
The works are part of a county-wide scheme and were signed off by the cabinet at a meeting today (15th April).
Cllr Janet Higgins, cabinet member for education and SEND at Staffordshire County Council, said:
“It is widely recognised that a school building is more than just a building. It is the foundation that supports teaching and learning and helps shape the future of our next generation.
“A good environment can promote better attendance, concentration and help motivate both staff and pupils alike. That is why we are committed to keeping schools safe, warm and dry, with facilities that support pupils’ wellbeing. This includes redesigning toilet areas to help reduce bullying and ensure safer spaces for every child.
“This year’s capital programme sets out our plans to support our education goals.”
