Artist impressions of BSF schools
These
artist
impressions are the first visual images of how the new BSF schools may look.
The images are working documents. BSF is a living project and the plans will
be developed as the programme progresses.
BSF
will be delivered in two stages. The first stage includes Scunthorpe’s secondary
schools, as listed below. The second stage, to begin around 2013, will
include the remaining rural schools in North Lincolnshire. Despite the programme
being split into two stages the latest ITC facilities will be available
in all school - no matter what stage they are in.
See the latest plans and images for the BSF schools.
Each school page shows our initial plans for transformation. These plans
will be reviewed as we develop each school. This will allow potential contractors
to bid for the work. Each artist impression reflects an affordable plan within
the present BSF budget.
The schools individual pages clearly states which buildings
could be demolished, refurbished or completely rebuild.
The BSF programme can't fully rebuild every school in the country. Each council
has to prioritise which schools require full and partial rebuild within the
money available. The council also has to remove surplus places due to falling
school rolls. This means the new and refurbished schools will be designed to
cater for forecasted pupils numbers in 2015. But each school will
have the capacity to expand if pupil numbers increase beyond these projected
numbers.
Current school plans
The initial plans for each school have been developed further to create a control
option. The purpose of each control option is to consider which buildings
could be retained, demolished and how much new build was required. The control
options are then costed by external consultants to ensure the total scheme is
affordable. The plans, displayed in the individual school pages, are working
documents only for our Outline
Business Case (OBC).
Melior Community College and Brumby Engineering College are the programmes
sample schemes. These will allow potential bidders to prepare a bid to win the
contract to remodel all of our schools. These plans are a reference point to
allow us to estimate within the budget that we have, and to give an impression
of a potential school layout. We expect the bidders will provide even better
building solutions that are still affordable.
Outline planning applications have been submitted which allow the council
to consider the plans for the two reference schemes. These plans are an
example of how the schools could be transformed.
