Our New School by Paul Beach https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool Q&A about our new learning spaces... en-us 2019-03-20 10:25:53 UTC 2019-06-10 01:39:48 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Condos.png Will there be lockers for learners in secondary? Most of them carry very heavy bags. They should have a space (that they don't have to pay for) where they can store their belonging safely and securely.

Am thinking about how to build small, specific learning spaces within a very large space. https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/343602240 (Steve)]]> 2019-03-21 01:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/343602240 Are the ceilings going to have sound absorbing materials? Is it all carpeted? I'm thinking about echoes in such a large space. https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/343724287 Susan]]> 2019-03-21 12:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/343724287 Can there be enough storage places at child height for learners to independently get what they need? https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/343725485 Susan

The currently used green tray trolleys in Year 5 are not deep enough and are unstable.

One adult alone with children in an enclosed space? Is this putting adults in a vulnerable situation? Or will the lifts have security cameras? Will a full class fit in one lift? If not, transitions via lifts will require several adults per class. Can as many transitions as possible be via climbing stairs? beach_p https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/345533786 (Susan)]]> 2019-03-27 03:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/345533786 As we are looking at replacing most of our tables, would it be possible to order in a variety of work tables to begin with next year (Aug 2019) so we can try them out and decide on what works and numbers before placing a final order? https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/348786563 meher]]> 2019-04-05 03:01:53 UTC https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/348786563 Will there be work spaces for teachers? https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/349224316 2019-04-07 08:20:38 UTC https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/349224316 Learner involvement thompsonso3_1 https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/349242958 I believe the learners will have a visit to the school in the first semester? Would time be available for them to have input into the design of their ILE space? (Where furniture, equipment, quiet spaces etc could be). Rather than waiting until the first day that the new school begins?

]]> 2019-04-07 12:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/349242958 Will each "classroom" have a projector and and a writeable surface..white board etc. or are these shared across the year group? https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/349777438 2019-04-09 02:57:52 UTC https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/349777438 Will Nursery and Kindergarten have an art studio in their pod as they do now? https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/349892334 meher]]> 2019-04-09 12:34:09 UTC https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/349892334 Relocation https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/351529818 Will staff that need to move (i.e. chose their current place before the new site was purchased) be offered a relocation allowance like the one new staff receive? :)

]]> 2019-04-15 00:54:48 UTC https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/351529818 Accessibility plans for wheelchair or limited mobility? https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/351578226 Are there wheelchair accessible toilets and showers? Will there be built in ramps and lower kerbs? Can we look into flexible/adjustable height furniture for learning spaces? Can all areas of the school the be accessed in a wheelchair? (Eg. stage, swimming pools, library, playground, canteen etc)

Also......

lighting and paint schemes to help the visually impaired? And
carpeting and acoustic tiling of learning spaces to help hearing impaired learners/staff?]]> 2019-04-15 07:20:09 UTC https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/351578226 murray_j https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/351580653 Will there be sound proofed areas/ quiet offices or spaces for oral exams? We have regular assessments for IB and IGCSE learners - ideally spaces we could use for trial exams/ practice too. I'd imagine that LOTE would need this too. Currently, we have to try to book meeting rooms but that's not ideal...thanks!

Not a 'right on' question environmentally since I know we try to 'reduce' paper usage but...the truth is we have to print huge amounts of exam papers for our trial exams and all too often the slow/ old/ limping photocopiers are insufficient for this particular task - this admin task takes a long time and there is no admin support for most Secondary LAs.  Thanks!]]> 2019-04-15 07:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/351581393 https://padlet.com/beach_p/MyNewSchool/wish/352226196 Are the portable smart tv's interactive?
