Design Festival
15 11 2007The Design Festival, which took place in College on 7th November involved 300 students in considering nine key areas of development for the new school.
Ideas from the workshops include:
use of video and podcasts in lessons; improving access to staff outside of lessons; ensuring that the exterior of the building reflects the Catholic ethos; providing a ‘cloister’ environment outside; improving the bus drop-off and pick-up area and moving it away from Wicker Lane; providing common room facilities for all year groups; keeping the rugby pitches adjacent to Hale Road; providing a showcase for performance and outstanding work; enhancing the area at the heart of the school so that the Chapel is highly visible and a social area provides a view of the whole school community.

I feel very disapointed that not all pupils were able to get involved with the design of the school, as I feel that I could have had some beneficial contributions. I wonder if there will be more chances for other students to add to the design.
