It's so important to keep school buildings up to date.
They're not just bricks and mortar; they're an investment in our community. By keeping them fit for purpose, we're investing in the futures of our students and helping them to reach their full potential.
That's what the Government's Condition Improvement Fund is aiming to do. Over several rounds it's been picking projects from across the country to help keep school buildings safe and in good working order.
I've been backing local schools in their bids for upgrades, and this month we heard the brilliant news that Queen Elizabeth's Grammar and Sheldwich Primary School are both get funding from the latest round.
This is such good news for staff and pupils, and I'm sure they'll be making full use of it.
Helping win investment for schools is one of my 5 local priorities for Faversham and Mid Kent, and I'm proud of the progress that we're making.
