This title introduces key issues in the design of learning spaces
with case studies and guidance on refurbishment and new building
projects. Learning can take place anywhere. So does the detail of
the physical surroundings provided by schools matter? After many
years of minimal investment in school premises, schools in the UK
are in the midst of a wave of planning, building and using new
schools. This includes all English secondary schools, being renewed
through Building Schools for the Future (BSF), as well as schemes
for English primaries and programmes of school construction in
Scotland and Wales. Starting from an educational perspective, and
building on work in architectural design, Pamela Woolner gives an
overview of current issues in the design of learning environments,
covering the physical design of spaces and how that design impacts
on the organization of people in schools, their relationships and
their teaching and learning. Filling the gap in understanding and
knowledge between the worlds of architecture and education, this is
essential reading for school leaders and all those engaged in
thinking about how school design might be planned and arranged to
facilitate learning and teaching. "The Future Schools Series"
explores the ways in which schools' needs for the future are
differing from the traditional, largely Victorian approach still
adopted by the majority of British schools today. The series
focuses on innovation in schools, both in terms of the school
environment and pedagogical approach. A major factor in this is the
Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme, which is the
biggest single UK government investment in improving school
buildings for over 50 years. The aim is to rebuild or renew every
secondary school in England over a 10-15 year period. This includes
significant investment in ICT to support the government's
educational reform agenda. As well as improving school buildings,
the aim of the agenda is to promote a step-change in the quality of
provision. Schools are starting to follow a range of innovative
practice in terms of their links with communities around them, as
part of the Every Child Matters and extended schools agenda, their
structure and organization and, not least, the organization and
approach of the leadership and senior management team. Books in
this series will provide either an overview of transformation with
specific case studies from around the UK and worldwide, or focus
more specifically on one or a small collection of schools to show
examples of good practice at a local community level.
