Building schools for the future
High-quality sports facilities are a key element in our investment programme to rebuild or modernise schools in the borough.
The Council has asked schools to consider including specialist sports facilities in their rebuilding plans.
The Government's Building Schools for the Future programme is a "fantastic opportunity to create sports facilities in each school that are tailored to specific sports", Greenwich Council leader Chris Roberts said.
