Schools and colleges across England are set to receive a share of £500m to spend on energy efficiency upgrades, the Government has announced.

On average, a primary school will receive approximately £16,000, a secondary school will get £42,000 and a further education college group will benefit from £290,000 of the funding.

The energy efficiency upgrades could include installing better heating controls, insulation to reduce heat loss from pipes or switching to energy efficient lighting.

Education secretary Gillian Keegan said: ‘We’re putting this cash in the hands of school and college leaders quickly, so they can decide what work is needed and so that our brilliant teachers can focus on teaching in a warm and safe environment.

‘Education is rightly a top priority for this Government and we will continue to strive to provide every child with a world-class education.’
