Education Secretary Gavin Williamson
The Education Secretary says his flagship policy – which will initially see 50 schools rebuilt and 21 constructed – will play a major role in improving pupils’ education experience after the pandemic.
He said the West Midlands was at the forefront of his plans, which he insisted would boost the post-Covid economy and help the region get back on its feet.
The rebuilds include six in the region, including St Peter’s in Wolverhampton and Wombourne High School. And new free schools are set to be built by Star Academies in Wolverhampton and John Taylor Multi Academy Trust in Rugeley.
