The BSF team is responsible for delivery of the Primary Capital Programme (PCP) a fourteen year programme of investment in primary schools with the aim of rebuilding or refurbishing up to half the primary schools in the country, although little funding for this has come through. In Lambeth, the PCP has been joined up with an ongoing programme to expand the number of primary school places in the borough to meet the projected demand over the next ten years, which is a pressing priority. BSF is the largest government investment programme for secondary schools, with aims to rebuild or substantially refurbish every secondary school in England. The BSF Division is responsible for securing Government BSF funding through production of 20
successful Business Cases. Following approval of Government funding, the Division is responsible for implementing the BSF Programme and transforming secondary education in the borough in partnership with schools, stakeholders and partner agencies. In Lambeth, the BSF programme, which includes 16 secondary schools, is delivered in two phases. Phase 1, which includes the building of five new schools, is nearing completion. Procurement for Phase 2, which includes the renovation and refurbishment of all remaining 11 secondary schools, is nearing completion, with work due to start later this summer. The main priorities of the Division include: Developing and delivering a credible and successful BSF programme Investing in the expansion of secondary school places Assessment and development of the primary school estate and other CYPS building assets Ensuring the creation of successful partnerships to fulfil the aims of the BSF and capital programme Enhancing and building on rising educational standards by improving: access, achievement, inclusion and community links. The BSF Division is currently delivering first phase of the primary school expansion plans which include a new primary school in Norwood, the rebuilding of Fenstanton Primary School linked to the New Academy, the conversion of the Woodfield Centre and the old Norwood Park School and the expansion of five other primary schools. The shortage of primary school places in the south of the borough is a major issue for the council and obtaining sufficient funding for the expansion plans is a major priority.
