Councillor Graham Turner, cabinet member for finance and regeneration, said previously: "Through our strong relationships with schools, we will ensure the improvements are delivered to an excellent standard for current and future pupils.

"Our aim is to replace inefficient materials with modern systems and enhance the physical environment for all concerned.

"By investing in our children, we are investing in their futures."

Referencing the additional school places for students with complex needs, Councillor Jane Rylah, cabinet member for education, said it was a "major priority to support our more vulnerable learners and transform services for special educational needs and disabilities".

She said: "Additionally Resourced Provisions (ARP) have opened at other local schools, tackling inequality and creating the right conditions for children to fulfil their potential.

"ARPs are nurturing spaces specifically tailored to their pupils. We have already seen the difference they make to children, young people and families."
