What is Building Schools for the Future?

Building schools for the future is part of the drive to raise standards in schools. The programme will deliver state of the art learning and social spaces to provide 21st century education. Not only will schools look different but teaching and learning in schools will be different.

Improved facilities will support the achievement of all children. These facilities are for use not just by school children but by all members of the community outside normal school hours.

What will it mean for South Tyneside and Gateshead?

South Tyneside and Gateshead have ambitious plans to deliver a 21st Century Education in the Schools of the Future.

We are aiming for high achievement for all children, schools which are at the heart of their communities and wherever possible schools as hubs to deliver services right to the heart of the local community
