Liverpool’s biggest ever school rebuilding programme has been given the go ahead.

The government has approved Liverpool city council’s proposals for Wave 6 of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme. This means work can now get underway on the next phase of the largest ever investment in the city’s education.

The £350 million plan will see 24 Liverpool secondary schools being rebuilt or refurbished, in five phases by 2017, providing every young person in the city with a 21st century secondary education and boosting standards and opportunities.

Liverpool City Council Leader, Councillor Warren Bradley, said: “Building Schools for the Future is a once-in-a-generation opportunity, and I’m delighted the government has given our plans the go-ahead. It’s great news for Liverpool and paves the way for us to transform education at every secondary school in the city.

“Liverpool’s future prosperity rests on the shoulders of our young people. It’s vital we provide them with first-class, 21st century education facilities, which help them develop as confident, skilled, job-ready individuals. At the heart of our plans is a firm commitment to improve opportunities and outcomes for every pupil.”

I’m sure everyone is with me in congratulating The Pool.  As a Liverpool resident I am well aware of the education shortcomings of our fare city. It’s great to see such a proactive approach being taken to education.
