Improving  the  Rosendale  School  Buildings  

   

The  story  so  far:  Four  classrooms  in  Key  Stage  1  have  been  refurbished  

 

   

   

The  Key  Stage  1  toilets  have  been  completely  remodelled  and  redesigned    

 

What  next  in  2013?    At   the   Autumn   Term   governor   meeting   the   Rosendale   School   Council   made   a  presentation   to   the   school   governors   to   represent   the   views   of   the   children  about   what   work   should   be   done   next   to   improve   the   school.     They   made   a  passionate   plea   for   the  Key   Stage  2   toilets   to   be   improved,   particularly   having  seen   the  work   that   had   been   done   the   previous   summer   in   Key   Stage   1.     The  governing  body  were  happy  to  agree  to  the  refurbishment  work  and  so  the  next  phase  of  improvement  work  has  begun.  Cullinan  Studios,   the  architects,  have  begun   the   consultation  process  with   staff  and  children  to  highlight  the  problems  that  need  to  be  solved  and  have  started  to  come  up  with  some  design  solutions  as  you  can  see  below.    Their  design  aims  to  improve   access   into   the   building,   make   the   toilets   more   private   by   using  individual   cubicles   without   gaps   at   top   or   bottom,   stop   children   from   feeling  vulnerable  in  the  toilets  by  making  the  space  visible  and  improve  the  storage  of  coats  and  bags.
