BSF is a new strategic approach to capital investment in school estates that will create the environment for the Government agenda of educational transformation. It is proposed that 180 schools across England will benefit from over £2 billion of investment into school facilities over the duration of the programme.

BSF aims to bring together significant investment in buildings and ICT, ensuring that secondary pupils in every part of England have access to 21st century facilities. This will help drive reform in the organisation of schooling, teaching and learning, ensuring the development of new options at
14-19 and the provision of
special needs. Education Leeds is one of 14 local authorities to be included in the 1st Wave of the BSF Programme which started in March 2004.
