Schools across Gedling borough are to receive a share of £9.5m in funding to make infrastructure improvements.
Six borough schools will receive the cash during the next two years – with all works scheduled for completion by the start of the 2024/2025 academic year.
Money from the programme will be used to cover for projects like replace ceilings, installing air source heat pumps and upgrading lighting and electrics.
In total, 20 schools across the county will benefit from the cash.
Cabinet member for Children and Young People, Councillor Tracey Taylor, said: “This council is committed to having fit-for-purpose schools, and the £9.5m school building improvement programme for the next two years will deliver them.
“I’m delighted we’ve now set out our plans to enhance the buildings of more than 20 schools across Nottinghamshire – every borough or district will receive a slice of investment from the programme.
“We pledged in our ten-year council plan to provide sufficient school places and to give parents a greater choice and getting our schools’ infrastructure up to speed will help towards this ambition.”
Borough schools receiving cash…
Arnold View Primary School (Gedling) – £98,800 – replace the failing outdated gas boilers with high efficiency Gas boiler equivalent.

Replace windows, external doors, facias and soffits. Replace hall ceiling and install new insulation. Replace remaining old emitters and carry out legionella works.
Pinewood Infant School (Gedling) – £85,340 – conversion and renovation of the kitchen from gas to modern electric, eliminating the ventilation issues associated with the gas installation.
