“Our generation is the first to knowingly degrade the environment at the expense of children.”
“This is not going to be straightforward but if there is one sector that must show the way then it should be schools, at the heart of our communities, especially given the scale of the replacement programmes".
Robin Nicholson, CBE, Chair of Zero Carbon Task Force, Edward Cullinan Architects
“…failure to act now on reducing carbon emissions works directly against children’s interests.”
The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown
Building Schools for the Future (BSF) is the biggest-ever school buildings investment programme. The aim is to rebuild or renew nearly every secondary school in England.
“…this isn’t just about bricks and mortar. Building Schools for the Future is a catalyst for transformation.”
The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown
