Description

The magazine series helping to improve the school environment. Here presenter Sharon Wright and the All Change team work with the staff, parents and students at Thistley Hough High School in Stoke-on-Trent to transform a drab entrance hall. The school, built as an art deco showpiece in 1938, is now a performing arts college in need of some refurbishment. Using imaginative lighting and a bright colour scheme, designer Marco da Cruz provides a new welcoming environment for a space that celebrates student achievement. A plasma screen and exciting artwork produced by students working with an African artist add to the new look. Also in the programme, how innovative design at Kingsdale School in Southwark, once in special measures, has led to dramatic improvements in achievement and confidence. And a look at the radical Schools for the Future scheme from Alsop Architects. A futuristic multi storey design for an adaptable learning environment at a confined inner-city site.
