Luton’s Building Schools for the Future ...

Luton has been included in wave 3 of a 15 wave programme (2005/06-2020/21) resulting in every secondary school being renovated, providing facilities fit for the 21st Century.

Great emphasis will be place on the use of information and communication technology to support the delivery of personalised learning. In addition, Luton schools intend to work collaboratively to increase the breadth and depth of the curriculum on offer to pupils, particularly at Key Stage 4.
