Gloucester School Visits - 20 October 2009

Its been a really busy week - but managed to squeeze in some very important visits to three other schools in Gloucester:

• Kingsway Primary School - compelted a year ago. Good sustainability agenda, nice learning resource space as a knuckle between the communal spaces and KS2; good, wide corridors. Easy to find your way around the school
• Meadowside Primary School - completed in 2000. Visabled sustainability - using the technqiues as an educational tool - cut-away panels behind perspex, exposed pipework etc
• Coney Hill Primary School - completed about 5 years ago. really lovely classrooms all opening out onto a smaller outdoor play areas, the years were not in one line - year 1,2,3,4,5,6 - they mixed it up a bit and started partnering years 5 pupils with Year 1 etc

Very informative afternoon! Back to the office to do more work on the presentations for parents day!
