Grantham College is to receive £286,081 to help with refurbishments as part of Government plans to boost further education.

The Stonebridge Road college is one of more than 180 which will receive a share of £200 million to begin immediate work from next month to repair and refurbish buildings and campuses.

The funding marks the latest step in the government's drive to overhaul further education and deliver the skilled workforce employers and the economy need, and that will help level up skills and opportunities for more people across the country.

The cash boost forms part of a major £1.5bn investment that will transform colleges over the next five years.

This initial investment is being fast-tracked so colleges can kick-start work this year and so students and staff will benefit a least a year earlier than originally planned.
