In all, £367 million will be invested in 2015-16 for 1,089 academies and sixth-form colleges across England to tackle building condition issues or to support expansions as part of the Government’s Condition Improvement Fund.
Education secretary Nicky Morgan said: “As part of our long term economic plan we have continued to invest in school buildings so thousands of pupils are taught in new schools and classrooms.

Schools minister David Laws said: “To create a stronger economy and a fairer society it is crucial that we invest in education, so that every child has a fair start in life.
“Since 2010 the Government has invested more than £18 billion in school buildings, and we recently announced a further £6 billion to help drive-up school building standards across the country in the coming years.
“Thanks to Condition Improvement Fund thousands more pupils and their teachers across England will benefit from safe, high-quality classrooms.”
