The Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme will see every state secondary school in England, around 3,500
in total, rebuilt or remodelled over the lifetime of the programme.
Launched by the Department for Education & Skills in Feb 2004, BSF is the largest and most ambitious scheme of its kind anywhere in the world. It will transform education for some 3.3 million students.
The scale of BSF enables local authorities to adopt a strategic approach to funding, design, procurement and management of buildings.
BSF is not just a building programme: It aims to create learning environments which inspire all young people to unlock hidden talents and reach their full potential; provide teachers with 21st century work places; and provide access to facilities which can be used by all members of the local community.
