Building Schools for the Future in Coventry

Artist's impression of a new school.

Building Schools for the Future (BSF) is a government programme that will transform secondary and secondary special schools and education across the country by investing large amounts of money into buildings and Information and Communications Technology (ICT).

It is far more than just a building programme however, as it provides Coventry with the opportunity to transform the way secondary schools function by developing buildings for the 21st Century with teaching and learning to match.


The BSF programme so far

The government has put £45 billion into the programme and divided it up nationally into a number of waves. Coventry is in Wave 4 and has been allocated around £300m for buildings and £30m for ICT (figures subject to further discussion with the government).

With this money, we aim to remodel, refurbish or rebuild all of our secondary and secondary special schools. Details of individual school projects will be made available at a future date.

Getting involved

We want to hear your views and make sure you feel engaged in the process of BSF in Coventry.

We will be holding a number of consultation events with people, including the general public, plus those people who will be directly affected by one or more of our school projects.

Recent consultation meetings have focused on the eight new schools that will be built across the city as well as the four design and build schools in Phase One of Coventry's BSF project.

Details of future meetings will appear on this page as soon as they are arranged.

If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please get in touch with us.

For the latest information, view the current edition of the BSF newsletter.

The national Building Schools for the Future programme is being delivered by a government agency called Partnership for Schools (PfS). To find out more, view the latest PfS newsletter.
