Building Schools for the Future (BSF)

Welcome to Suffolk’s Building Schools for the Future (BSF) - the biggest single Government investment in improving school buildings for over 50 years. The aim is to rebuild or renew every secondary school in England over a 10-15 year period. The funding is in waves, and part of Ipswich and Felixstowe have been chosen as the first areas in Suffolk to benefit. Some £150 million will be used to rebuild or refurbish the secondary and secondary age special schools and Pupil Referral Units in these areas.

Building Schools for Future is about more than just buildings - BSF is a once in a lifetime opportunity to transform the learning experience of Suffolk children and young people to benefit their futures. Our programme aspires to be ambitious and farsighted to include:

  • A broad range of high quality curriculum options
  • State of the art ICT provision
  • ‘Future proofed’ buildings and classrooms which can adapt to a variety of usage
  • Extensive community use.
