On the 18th May we held a Design Day at Robinswood Primary School. Pupils from Robinswood, Hillview and Dinglewell Primary School joined us as we spent the day designing our 'Dream' Primary School.
We discussed how you know a building is a school, what makes a good school both inside and out, what they liked and disliked about their schools and then prioritised these into a list of 'Big Ideas' to help us design our 'Dream' school.
We then split into two teams and developed ideas and mood boards before coming up with our final designs using Sketchup, collage, drawing and montage to convey our ideas.
At the end of the day, the two teams presented their schemes to Martin (the Head of Robinswood) and Ash from Carter Construction.
The pupils from all of the Schools were superb and came up with some really fantastic ideas, some of which challenged our thinking on the early concept designs for Coopers Edge...it was also great to see them present their schemes at the end of the day and debate/defend their ideas with a real sense of ownership over their designs!
