Instead I suggest small spaces open to the corridors with built in seating clinging to two walls. There could be another wall for lockers. These spaces could be located throughout the school and would be useful as well as manageable for staff.

I agree with Jay that they would get very untidy and they would be like a second playground for the younger years.

This is because, the 6th Form Common Room has been a place to look up to and to something to work towards at the years of the college. Therefore the idea of having a common room for each year will take away this reward. I also feel that these rooms will be used more as playgrounds rather than a place of study and relaxation for the students. Finally, I do agree with having designated areas where boys can study but individual common rooms would be a waste of space. I feel that the boys in the lower school should use the sixth form and a common room as something to work towards throughout their school life as it is a huge privelige to a sixth former, a leader of the school I feel that coomon rooms for each year is simply a bad idea.

Football and snooker tables are great, but paying for them? With bus fares rising and canteen prices gradually getting 5p higher every few weeks, people do NOT have enough money. The tables would be pointless if people couldn't afford them. It would also be unfair for some people who can't afford them. And the jukebox idea is NOT thought through. Would you put your CD's into a jukebox to play a few songs, but not get them back? Mark you are asking for things that ruin us. Football and snooker tables are great, but paying for them?
