Project Overview

This is the largest capital investment in school buildings ever seen. The Government will be spending £2billion each year, over the next 15 - 20 years, to transform secondary age education.

Every secondary school in the country will be touched by the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme. The BSF plan is not so much about buildings but about changing the way we educate our children.
