The Government has announced 37 projects in waves 1 to 3 of Building Schools for the Future (BSF), of which 29 have at least one voluntary aided (VA) school within them.
So far 13 project outline business cases have been approved by the Treasury or the Department, and the VA schools that are included in these are listed as follows:
Knowsley Kirby RC; Central RC
Lancashire St. Theodore's RC Burnley
Leeds Corpus Christie RC; New RC High
Leicester English Martyrs; St. Paul's RC
Lewisham Northbrook
Newcastle St. Cuthbert's RC; St. Mary's RC
Solihull The Archbishop Grimshaw RC
Stoke St. Peter's CE; St. Margaret Ward RC;St Thomas More RC; St Joseph's RC
Waltham Forest Holy Family RC
All the BSF projects are currently moving towards procurement, but none have been signed as yet. Funding is not finalised until contracts have been signed, and no details can be released prior to this for commercial reasons.
Which begs the Question ... why does the State support Faith Schools ?
