(updated 27/01/09) Pupil Designs
Pupils from the Wave 4 schools were recently involved with the design process. With assistance from the Sorrell Foundation they were shown how to work with architects, how to express their ideas and to make those ideas into reality. They found this a very rewarding experience. They produced a "pupil brief" which will be a key document for potential bidders. Ths document should ensure that pupils aspirations are reflected in school designs.
