School design is a complex and challenging process for schools and of paramount social importance.
This video introduces school building guidance co-designed with schools by researchers from the University of Oxford's Department of Education, as part of an ESRC IAA-funded project entitled 'Building on Design Matters'.
The guidance focuses on the pedagogic implications of school design for headteachers, school building commissioners, teachers and the wider school community. The process aims to share lessons learned on school design and construction processes with practitioners for future new school buildings, school refurbishment and conversion projects. The guidance applies to mainstream primary and secondary schools, as well as special schools. (This is a consultation document. The research team seek feedback on how to improve the content for practitioners.)
