The British Council for School Environments (BCSE) is a membership organisation made up of schools, local authorities, construction companies, architects, and all those involved in, and passionate about, designing excellent learning environments.

It acts as a forum for exchange, dialogue and advocacy for anyone interested in learning environments; from educators to policy makers, users to designers, managers to constructors.

The BCSE exists to research, communicate and develop best practice in all aspects of school design and construction. Our mission is to stimulate continuous improvement in the commissioning, design, construction and use of school facilities and promote the link between excellence in teaching and learning and the learning environment.

The BCSE is a membership organisation bringing together all those involved in the school design and construction business from both the public and private sector. It organises various events such as training sessions, design festivals, study tours in the UK and overseas, conferences and seminars. We also commission and conduct research, and have expert groups in areas such as Acoustics and Ventilation that allow participants to share problems and devise solutions.
