What does Building Schools for the Future mean for you?

  • From 2010 all schools will be extended schools. This means that schools are no longer just about what happens in a classroom during school hours. Schools will be at the very heart of the communities they serve providing learning and leisure opportunities for everyone in the community beyond normal school hours.
  • It is hoped that many schools will share their sites with other public services to provide a hub for local services, for example schools could be on the same site as libraries and doctors’ surgeries.
  • Some school buildings will be replaced with exciting modern designs which will enhance the areas around them and become land marks in their communities.
