Fears of school grounds dominated by parking
Despite the standard of proposed new school buildings rapidly improving, the design of school grounds is lagging behind.Car parking dominates many proposals which CABE’s schools design panel reviews. Play areas are often uninspiring and do not recognise the varying needs and ages of different pupils. Some grounds are designed to face north, and others could become narrow wind tunnels.
Often the grounds appear to have been designed in isolation from the buildings. In one case a performance courtyard had no direct links to the hall or drama studios.
School grounds should provide attractive space not only for exercising but also for socialising and learning. When properly designed, the grounds can enhance the quality of the whole school environment for relatively little cost.
