Building Schools for the Future (BSF) is the biggest-ever school buildings
investment programme. The aim is to rebuild or renew nearly every secondary
school in England.
The area of TeacherNet has full details of the programme, how it works, the partners making it happen, latest news on its various projects and for local authorities and other key partners, a knowledge portal of detailed policy documents, forms, case studies and BSF guidelines to help make the process as easy as possible.
Latest news
- The revised national programme for BSF is published here.
- The Second Annual Report of the PricewaterhouseCoopers evaluation of BSF is now published. The supporting Technical Report is also available. (January 2008). The report shows that BSF is making good progress, that there is increasing belief in all stakeholders that it will deliver strong benefits for teaching and learning, and particularly from schools as they actually go through the programme. There is strong evidence of satisfaction with their new buildings from the staff and pupils of the first four new BSF schools opened.
- DCSF procured PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2005 to carry out an independent evaluation of this major programme. The main aims of the work are to evaluate the impact of BSF investment on educational achievement and to learn early lessons to inform the programme's development. Ministers have welcomed the report and its findings. The first Annual Report of PricewaterhouseCoopers on this evaluation has now been published, and also the supporting Technical Report. The Literature Review from the Technical Report is also available as a separate document. (December 2007)
