The Education Secretary Michael Gove MP has announced that the Building Schools for the Future porgramme is being suspended/scrapped as part of the govenrments funding cuts.
In St Helens a number of schools were scheduled to be involved in either new build programmes or substantial re-modeling of the existing schools. According the information released last night some schools within the programme are unaffected particularly ones where they are moving to become an academy.
As it stands the current Hope Park academy in Newton is unaffected and the new academy planned for Sutton might still go ahead. There is also a possibility that the remodelling of De La Salle and Rainford might proceed but these will be subject to further scrutiny. Unfortunately all other projects affecting other schools in the borough as part of the BSF programme will no longer go ahead and this will affect, St Augutines, St Cuthberts, Haydock, , Mill Green, the development of new pupil referal facility.
Encouraging and empowering people and communities to play their role in the development of St Helens.
