An Old School in a New Building?

Where Building Design and Educational Innovation Converge

What can EdisonLearning do for Building Schools for the Future?
Over the next 10 to 15 years, secondary schools across the country are being rebuilt or refurbished in a programme intended to bring about a transformation in young people's education.

But do new buildings on their own lead to higher educational standards?

How do we do it?

If we want to transform schools to make them serve the needs of our children in the 21st century, we need to make the most of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that BSF offers. And we wont do that by simply replicating a school model that was created in the 19th century, tried through the 20th, and found wanting in many ways. Even if it is housed in brand new facilities.

Underpinned by international research into the practices of the most effective schools and schools
systems, and supported with a track record of delivering step-changes in educational outcomes for young people, EdisonLearning is uniquely positioned to understand the transformational potential of BSF, and to support Local Authorities and Schools through the process of designing not just the buildings for their BSF project, but the education their new schools will deliver.
