Information for governors

The national programme, called Building Schools for the Future, will fund works to bring all secondary schools up to new standards and create 21st century learning environments. Salford is in wave 3 of a programme with 15 phases and we are working towards starting to deliver the building programme in the next few years.

There are a number of stages before we actually start works on the schools, so there are a number of opportunities for you to be involved in developing our plans. In the next 12 months, schools and pupils will be involved in designing the future buildings.

We will keep you informed about the programme as it progresses.

The Building Schools for the Future programme has provided an opportunity for Salford to agree a vision that will place schools at the heart of our communities.

There is also guidance available nationally, including Building Schools for the Future - a guide for school governors and headteachers.

A statutory school consultation on the revised proposals took place from 10 November to 17 December 2008.
