Building Blocks: An investigation into Building Schools for the Future

Synopsis

Our latest report Building Blocks critically examines the Government's Building Schools for the Future programme. The report recommends that Labour's flagship programme should be radically simplified and the quango who currently delivers this project - Partnerships for Schools should have its remit curtailed.

Its findings also show how the £55 billion BSF programme, which started to rebuild the entire secondary school estate, has failed in its mission to 'transform education'.
