BSF delivery programme

How will we make BSF happen?

BSF is more than just a construction programme and Lambeth is working with stakeholders to deliver a successful programme that is focused on improving educational outcomes rather than just buildings.

A strong BSF team has been set up to manage the programme. The team consists of professionals with expertise in all related areas of project management, finance, administration, legal, technical advice, communications and education.

Two-phased delivery programme

A two-phased programme of BSF investment over 10 years has been adopted. Phase 1 is the rebuilding of four of the existing schools and the building of a new secondary school. Two schools are complete and the others are scheduled for completion in 2009 and 2010.

Phase 2 involves substantial refurbishment of the remaining schools, and one rebuild. Planning for Phase 2 is well underway and the construction is due for completion in 2014.

To ensure that the schools in Phase 2 are not placed at a disadvantage by the new buildings in Phase 1, and that they will remain attractive to new students, a programme of intermediate works is being carried out. This will be at sites where there is an urgent need for limited remedial work in advance of the main construction period of Phase 2.
