Schools granted access to £1 billion fund for making their buildings more energy-efficient

Schools will be able to apply for grants from the government to make their buildings more energy-efficient under a new public sector decarbonisation scheme, a recent news report has been able to suggest.

According to the government, the scheme “will offer grants to public sector bodies, including schools and hospitals, to fund both energy efficiency and low carbon heat upgrades”.

The Treasury also re-announced packages for schools that have already been reported.

These include the £560 million in additional condition improvement funding for 2020-21, £1 billion for 50 rebuilding schemes starting from September 2021, a £1 billion catch-up fund and the government’s national free school meal voucher scheme.
