In the Creating Spaces project, to which we provided technical support, pupils looked at ways in which the school grounds could be used more imaginatively than they are at present. Their proposal for an outdoor classroom on the site of an old swimming pool received funding and the completed classroom provides amphitheatre seating around a central stage, which is used for community events as well as teaching space. There are proposals for further phases to include a masonry backdrop wall, to allow films to be shown, lighting and staging to be erected. Demonstration raised vegetable and fruit growing beds are also proposed.
