Building schools for the future

Launched by the Government in 2003, Building Schools for the Future (BSF) is a programme that aims to rebuild or refurbish every secondary school in England over a fifteen year period, with a projected budget of £45 billion.

Tower Hamlets’ BSF programme will invest over £180 million in secondary schools to provide world class 21st century facilities that transform the educational outcomes of young people.

BSF isn't only about building better schools - it aims to bring schools closer to the community by enabling shared access to improved facilities such as Information and Communication Technology (ICT) .This will place schools at the heart of the community, providing local people with increased opportunities for lifelong learning and community development.
