...AND SEVEN 7
community’s love of joy of education. The design flexibility and demographic planning offers a vast number of different learning settings that will significantly enhance the learners’ engagement in education.,
The Knowsley BSF programme is a collaborative effort between Knowsley Council, Balfour Beatty and Aedas. The £150 million expense is delivering 7 new learning centres - the first of which Christ the King has just received three Awards from the British Council for School Environments (BCSE). It won first prize (out of 170 entries within 13 categories) in the ‘Inspiring Design – School’s category and was shortlisted in the ‘Best Healthy Learning Environment category. Importantly, it won the the Judges’ Award for its ‘Visionary approach to involving a wide range of stakeholders, innovating in the design process and providing a consistent set of
learning spaces tailored to a string vision.’ This plethora of school success provides innovative design solutions to new education and creates outdoor spaces within the building envelope to enhance the indoor-outdoor teaching and learning experience – ie a common set of elements which integrate architecture and the environment….. mass daylighting through the roof and walls, air, space, colour, interaction, happiness and contentment (see image).

Ty Goddard, chief executive of the British Council for School Environments (BCSE) notes, ‘Knowsley’s approach to school design really is gold standard and we’d encourage other local authorities to follow their lead.’ That apparently is exactly, and quite rightly what’s happening. We’re going to hear a lot more about Knowsley, especially as the BCSE World Learning Environments Conference 11-12 November is being staged right inside one of their new Learning Centres.
And finally… So what’s special about the design and teaching you may well ask? Simply, that a truancy rate of 40% has been transformed into an attendance rate of 98.5%!
Interesting, huh?
