Building Schools for the Future is part of the government's drive to improve standards in schools. It is an opportunity for the whole school workforce to have a say in the future of their school and to help create the facilities needed to deliver an enriched curriculum.
Building Schools for the Future is not just about improving learning environments for pupils; it's also designed to support the governments workforce reform agenda.
The programme will provide flexible accommodation for different models of curriculum delivery and space that enable teachers to get the most out of the time they are guaranteed for preparation, planning and assessment. But all staff, not just teachers will benefit from an improved working environment through Building Schools for the Future.
You will have the chance to get involved with the consultation process on the future design of your school to make sure that it will meet your needs. Schools renewed through Building Schools for the Future will use ICT to the full and provide the space and accommodation for a larger and more flexible workforce.
The local authorities aim is to make the design and construction process a positive, rather than a disruptive, experience for the whole school community.
The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment is the governments adviser on architecture, urban design and public space. It advises on how to get better value through better design. The Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment has produced several publications about school design, including 'Being Involved in School Design', and a range of teaching resources which are available through its website.
Construction Skills is an organisation which works with construction employers, training providers and government to tackle the skills and productivity needs of the construction industry in the United Kingdom. It has produced a booklet called 'Being Involved in School Construction', supported by the Construction Industry Training Board - Construction Skills Regional Education Teams, to help schools make the most of construction projects.
