Abstract

A building project, refurbishing your existing school or creating a new one, is a golden opportunity to rethink education. Investment in school facilities can help to transform pupils’ experience, implement a renewed curriculum and class structure, shift the balance between academic and life skills, and enhance the relationship between the school, parents and the local community. This booklet has been prepared to generate ideas about school aspirations and the way in which school buildings and grounds can help deliver an educational vision. Pupils, teachers, governors, parents, local education officers, PFI teams and designers, can all use it to define their aspirations for the school and its community, and to debate how the physical infrastructure might help achieve these aspirations. The booklet lends itself for use as a workshop tool. For example, you could use each of the 26 themes to stimulate your stakeholders in defining what they believe is needed for educational facilities in the whole community, in just one school, or even in a single room. Your designers can then suggest their response. The booklet also works as a creative teaching tool to elicit pupils’ desires and creative solutions for their ideal learning environments.
