Skelton Primary School is undergoing a comprehensive rebuild under the school rebuilding programme announced in July 2021.

Question

I thank my right hon. Friend for his answer, which is reassuring news, because Skelton Primary is a very good school but it is in need of a comprehensive rebuild. The headteacher, Mrs Walker, worked through last summer in the expectation that the rebuild could begin as soon as this Easter, but that has not happened, because the builders came back saying that more money was required. Will my right hon. Friend assure me that that date of the end of the summer is now fixed? Will it be possible for me to meet the civil service team in charge to discuss this with them further?

Answer from Damian Hinds

The scope of works including all funding has been confirmed for Skelton Primary School. Construction work is expected to begin in late summer and complete next year. A meeting with the civil service team can be arranged if it would be helpful.
