Sutton Bonington Primary School: Repairs and Maintenance

Asked by James NaishLabourDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 21 October 2025UIN 81434

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how much funding she has provided to Sutton Bonington Primary School for rebuilding in the last 12 months.

Answered by Josh MacAlister

The School Rebuilding Programme (SRP) is a centrally delivered programme. Therefore, no funding is allocated or distributed directly to schools.

Details of all contracts awarded over £10,000 are published on the ‘Contracts Finder’ website, which can be accessed at: https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder. Payments made to the contractor are in line with agreed milestones for the project.

In addition to the SRP, the department is investing almost £3 billion per year by 2034/35 in capital maintenance and renewal to improve the condition of the school and college estate, rising from £2.4 billion in 2025/26. As part of that, Equals Trust, which is responsible for Sutton Bonington Primary, was allocated just under £1.1 million in capital funding for the 2025/26 financial year to decide how to invest across its schools.
