The Priority School Building Programme replaced Labour’s Building Schools for the Future scheme and allocated £2bn over five years to renovate between 100 and 300 schools.
Out of 587 applications 261 schools will receive money through the fund.
Department for Education officials have written to all schools that applied to the programme.
Gove said: “I recognise that many of the schools that applied and have been unsuccessful will also have significant condition needs. Some of those will have their needs addressed through the other funding we have made available for maintenance.
“Where that is not the case, I will use the information from the national programme of surveys we are currently conducting to ensure that, subject to funds available in the next spending review period, those schools which need renovation will have their needs addressed as quickly as possible.”
