Equitix continues to expand its education portfolio, through both the primary and secondary PFI markets:

Currently, the portfolio consists of the following

Equitix Education (Derbyshire)

Equitix achieved financial close on the Derbyshire BSF programme in July 2009. The two sample schools, Springwell and Bolsover, will be completed in November 2010. The full Derbyshire scheme is one the UK's largest BSF programmes and will ultimately see the delivery of 46 schools across the central English county in a mixture of PFI and D&B arrangements totalling £750m. The first phase will deliver two PFI schools and one further D&B facility.

Equitix Education (Greenwich)

Equitix has taken a 50% stake in Greenwich BSF PFI in June 2009. In partnership with VT Group, who are leading the transaction, Equitix hope to close the first wave PFI schools in the near future. The first two PFI schools, Crown Woods and Thomas Tallis, have a capital value of approximately £100m.

Equitix Education (Pembrokeshire)

Equitix acquired a Pembrokeshire primary school in October 2009. Completed in 2001, it was the first PFI primary school to open in Wales. The facility encompasses state of the art accommodation for 500 pupils aged 3-11. An Autistic Unit and playgroup provision are also accommodated. It was awarded “Best Operational Education Project” in 2005 (Public Private Awards)

Equitix Education (Ealing)

Equitix acquired a 45% stake in this PFI project in December 2008. The project comprises 2 secondary schools and one primary school in the London Borough of Ealing. Construction was completed in time for the commencement of the academic year in September 2007. Discussions are underway with a view to building a new sixth form block at one of the schools.
