Ben Rhydding Primary and Burley Woodhead Primary both benefit from Bradford Council's plans to to spend more than £2 million to fix and improve buildings at schools across the district.
The work will make sure children and staff have safe, warm, and well-maintained places to learn and work.
The money will be used to carry out important repairs in 13 of the council-maintained schools that need them most. These major repairs include re-roofing, replacing boilers, updating electrics, and improving fire safety and are funded in their entirety by the Department for Education.

Councillor Sue Duffy, Portfolio Holder for Children and Families, said:
“This is an important investment in our schools. We want every child to have the best chance to learn and grow in a safe and welcoming environment. These repairs will help make sure our school buildings are fit for the future and show our ongoing commitment to helping young people thrive in Bradford.”
The work will be planned carefully with each school to avoid disruption to lessons. Most of the repairs will take place during school holidays.”
