Description
The magazine series helping to improve the school environment.The All Change team transform a Year 2 classroom at Four Acres Primary School in Bristol. Parents had to bring their children in through the classroom each day, causing disruption for the teacher and for children already seated at the front of the class. Architect Marco da Cruz redesigns the classroom, moving the whiteboard through 90 degrees onto another wall. Lightweight timber and plastic room dividers help keep the traffic away from the teaching area.Project Manager John Cregg paints a beautiful mural on one wall in the classroom, with the help of some Year 2 children.The programme also features Chafford Hundred Community Secondary School in Thurrock, which has strong links with its local community, through a public library that services the school and local residents. The school also has a high tech system of swipe-card operated lockers for students, all of whom have access to a laptop computer.
