Aims of BSF-Culture

Through providing support to the Building Schools for the Future project in Yorkshire we aim to:

• Strive for good quality and innovation in the design of school sport and arts facilities.
• Promote joined up and strategic working within and across local authorities.
• Encourage community access to school facilities and the growth and sustainability of community activity.
• Ensure the benefits of cultural activity are understood by schools and local authorities, and are reflected in their education vision and school ethos.
• Advocate consultation with young people, teachers, parents and the local community during the BSF process.
• Represent the cultural sector, communicate opportunities and establish partnerships.
