EDUCATION in Greenwich is set to get a multi-million pound cash injection.
Greenwich Council's cabinet committee has rubber stamped a spending package which will see £14.4m invested in education over the next three years.
About £9m of this money will pay for a new primary school in Gallions Reach, Thamesmead, due to open in September next year.
The school, which is currently being built, will offer 420 places for pupils aged between five and 11.
It will also offer 50 further places for younger children in a childcare centre.
Further cash will be spent on three new children's centres and play schemes across the borough.
The money is part of the Schools Capital Programme, which will see the council spend £54.8m between this year and 2008.
