The educational landscape of Stoke-on-Trent is undergoing a massive transformation with work now well underway for the city’s Building Schools for the Future (BSF) project.
The BSF Programme in the city is a key part of the regeneration of the Potteries, and has a number
of important objectives. We want to:
- improve education for all young people in the city,
- raise aspirations,
- provide a stable educational platform for this and future generations of young people and
- secure a safe and friendly environment for all students working and living in Stoke-on-Trent.
Every secondary and special school in the city will benefit from a total £250m investment. Specifically, our programme includes 18 schools:
- 13 secondary (including 6 academies)
- 4 special
- 1 pupil referral unit
School buildings are due to be rebuilt or refurbished in a series of 5 phases between January 2011 and January 2014.
The City Council is delivering the BSF programme in partnership with two main Design & Build contractors:-
Thomas Vale/Wates Joint Venture.
Balfour Beatty and an ICT Managed Service provider RM.
Any companies interested in establishing supply chain links with our main contractors can do so by joining the Build Up North Staffordshire Network or by contacting the contractors directly. Details are available on this website.
The following pages give brief details of individual projects, with images of school designs, where these have been developed. As this is a fast moving programme, we make every effort to ensure information is up to date, but if you have any questions about specific projects or the programme as a whole, please contact us:-
