Will extra sports facilities be created under the BSF programme, and will the community be able to use them?
Yes, BSF schools will include sports facilities which will in most cases be an improvement on what schools have now. For example, a large school hall will be provided, plus a sports hall and outdoor courts and/or grassed areas. Priority use of these facilities is for the school but the wider community will be encouraged to use them where appropriate. We are working with regional sports and culture groups to ensure we take opportunities to provide for a range of sports and leisure interests as part of the Extended Schools programme.
