Building Schools for the Future (BSF)

Description

Simon Mares, chair of governors at Little Ilford School in Newham, discovers the implications for a governing body of the Building Schools for the Future programme.

Mares is involved in the early stages of a complete rebuild of Little Ilford School under the BSF programme. He visits Whitefield Fishponds School in Bristol - a school where the project is now far advanced - in order to learn some valuable lessons.

He is particularly interested in the ICT provision and the sustainability features, both of which are expected to be central to every BSF project.
