Cloakrooms and storage |
Answer/Response |

| Important to make sure cloakrooms for coats and bags are designed to be outside the classroom and not included in the internal classroom space. Wet coats, bags and shoes should not be drying inside the classroom. | That is the intention. See drawings | |
| Toilets and Cloakrooms can be dodgy places: stealing from coats and bags; and of course bullying. How will the design approach this issue | Refer to brief and see drawings. | |
| Each class should have its own cloakroom area. 2/3 classes trying to move through one cloakroom space is hard work. What is the design principal for this build? | A coat and shoe box area directly outside each class-base. | |
| There are logistical problems with physically moving children in and around cloakroom space, so good design is essential. Extra pegs for PE and school bags, lunch bags. A bench/cupboards for changing shoes etc. | Refer to standard class-base. | |
| Every room should have a sink/draining board/storage area for paints, glue etc which is tiled/ easy to clean. | Refer to standard class-base. All class-bases have sinks and a storage or teaching wall. | |
| A corner for quiet reading/ writing; for group work; for computers. All these needs really add to the dimensions and the space necessary for children to function in a modern classroom. | Refer to standard class-base. The only way to “add” these functions without additional resources is to ensure what is provided is flexible. This is generally done by firstly maximising the effective teaching area, secondly optimising the proportions of the room and thirdly by minimising the space intrusion of other considerations such as storage and services. |
