Chair of Zero Carbon Task Force,

“Our generation is the first
to knowingly degrade the
environment at the
expense of children.”
“This is not going to be straightforward but if there is
one sector that must show the way then it should be
schools, at the heart of our communities, especially
given the scale of the replacement programmes".
“…failure to act now on reducing
carbon emissions works directly
against children’s interests.”
The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown
Building Schools for the Future (BSF) is the biggest-ever
school buildings investment programme. The aim is to
rebuild or renew nearly every secondary school in England.
“…this isn’t just about bricks and mortar. Building Schools for
the Future is a catalyst for transformation.”
The Prime Minister, Gordon Brown
