Progress

Partnerships for Schools is now working with over 70 local authorities in waves 1-6 of the BSF programme, as well as those selected in 2004 as �Pathfinders� for the programme.

The local authority pages on the website contain details of the funding, schools, procurement route and bidders, as well as press releases and links through to the local authority's BSF website section, where available.

News and press releases about the recent progress of pathfinder and Wave 1-6 local authorities can be found in the Media Centre.
