Timescales for Building Schools for the Future
Following the election of the new coalition government
on 11 May 2010, the new Education Secretary, Michael Gove,
announced that the Building Schools for the Future Programme has
been stopped, and that a number of planned academies are under
discussion.
The programme timescale below includes schools already
in construction, those agreed to progress and those currently under
discussion. View the list of schools
withdrawn from the programme in May 2010.
Summary of timescales for individual schools
Please note:
- The Academies listed below are procured through the previous
Government’s Academy Framework, and not those gaining Academy
status through the new Academies Bill.
- Dates marked with * may be subject to change.
- A 'wave' indicates a funding stream within the national
Building Schools for the Future programme.
- Batch: To ensure cost efficiencies during the procurement
process, Kent identified a single private partner to manage the
delivery of a number of academies.
