The Perse School project is the latest in a succession of Schools projects that have been awarded to Foresite in the last 24 months. Foresite Ltd made the decision to focus on the public sector and especially schools as a response to a Government backed iniative called “Building Schools for the Future(BSF)”. This is the biggest ever schools investment programme, the aim of which is rebuild or renew nearly every secondary school in England. Despite the on going credit crunch the Government is still committed to its aims for BSF to provide 21st century teaching and learning facilities for all secondary pupils and staff in England. The programme has wide support across the Government including The Prime Minister, who emphasised its importance and the Governments commitment to keeping it properly funded and on track. All projects are being regularly reviewed by ministers to ensure that taxpayers get value for money from this major investment.
