Three schools in County Durham are set for upgrades to their facilities after they were included in the government’s School Rebuilding Programme. 
Ferryhill Station Primary School, Framwellgate School and St Leonard’s Catholic School are among 61 schools nationally which will benefit as part of the scheme. 
The Department for Education (DfE) will start a project to replace or refurbish one or more buildings at each of the schools, with the aim of maintaining high educational standards for all pupils for decades to come. 
The programme is due to deliver 500 rebuilding projects nationally over the next decade, which will benefit tens of thousands of pupils over their lifetime.
