Building Schools for the Future (BSF)
BSF is a national programme to rebuild or refurbish secondary schools.
Sheffield City Council, Taylor Woodrow and Partnerships for Schools (PfS) are working together to deliver this programme through the Sheffield Local Education Partnership (LEP).
We have recently developed the BSF LEP Website, which provides information on partners, latest developments and the schools involved.
Below is a summary of the BSF programme in Sheffield, which is split into two phases. All schools will receive funding for rebuilding or refurbishment as well as significant investment in ICT services and equipment. The programme will also deliver improvements to the ICT infrastructure of a further 10 schools (ICT only schools).

There is an agreed school engagement strategy document called Building Schools for the Future – Process Guidance for Schools. This has been developed with schools that have been through the BSF process and is attached below as a downloadable document.
