ACCOMIDATION/SECURITY AT STANWELL SCHOOL
We are very pleased that the programme of rebuilding and refurbishment of the school has removed the inherent problems previously linked to the age and layout out of the site. The governing body, staff and pupils have continued to work together to respond to the challenges that a combination of curricular development and a steadily increasing population bring.
Within the buildings great attention has been paid to the details required for effective learning and organisation, with high quality teaching and specialist rooms grouped together. Teaching takes place in classrooms that are organised into distinct areas: English, Humanities, Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages, Special Needs and Welsh are based in departmental suites of rooms. Art, Business Studies, Dance, Design Technology, Drama, Information Technology, Media Studies, Music, Physical Education and Science each have specialist accommodation.
The school also has a variety of dining facilities and a purpose - built auditorium/assembly hall. The buildings include the provision of lifts, ramps and toilets to allow access for pupils and visitors with disabilities.
Security has been given high priority and improved by the construction of inter-linking buildings, forming an enclosed space for pupils at the heart of the site. The single entry point to the school is directly in front of the
Reception building and allows supervision of entry to and exit from the site.
The school is very proud of its current facilities and makes every effort to ensure that the maximum use is made of them for the benefit of all its pupils. Recent developments include a Sixth Form Cafe with outside seating areas, fully equipped Business, Learning and Year 12 Study Centre, Year 13 Study Centre, Media Computer Suite and a Fitness Suite within the Sports Hall complex. In addition, an ongoing maintenance and development programme ensures that Stanwell will continue to provide an excellent learning environment in the years ahead.
