What makes a good school of the
21st century ?
A good school of the 21st century has excellent teachers
and a good head teacher.
Children of all abilities and needs should be challenged
and supported.
It also has to have:
Interesting subjects
Exciting rooms
A fun playground
Cool school clubs and social events
These four areas are my main priorities today.
Main Subjects
Maths
Master
Class
•
The usual maths with special lessons
on money and how you will use it in the
future.
•
A full range of activities, taken by a
specialist.
•
•
English Literature.
Showing pupils a range of I.C.T skills
from Microsoft to searching the World
Wide Web.
My idea of geography also covers R.E as
when learning about different cultures
you can also learn about that country’s
religions.
Rich Task teaches how to work co-operatively
in a group and gives you control of your
learning.

Rich
Task
•
•
You can tie health and wellbeing in with
circle time as you talk about the same
thing.
•
You can tie thinking technology in with
science because when doing experiments
you can sometimes make them using
thinking technology.
•
The arts include art, music and
drama
The Arts
Rooms
•
Quiet
Room
Bigger
Classrooms
Single
Desks
Suggesting the name a quiet room
is a place that you can go when you
have had a rough day, you can go
and chill out for 5-10 minutes in the
quiet room.
You need bigger classrooms to
make sure the room isn’t too
crowded.

•
Free Time

Interactive
Whiteboard

Classrooms

•
A Laptop for
Every Pupil
More
windows
•
•
Single desks would be useful
because everybody would have
their own personal spaces.
You could use this room for when
people don’t want to go outside they
can have free time in this room.
You need an interactive
whiteboard for when doing
lessons like rotational symmetry,
you can show how it works.
You would need more classrooms
to fit in more pupils.
If we had a laptop, it would
save a lot of paper, making the
school more eco-friendly.
More natural light in the school
would make the school become
more eco friendly.

A bike shed for people who want
to bring a bike.
•
A sports pitch ranging in different
sports from football to tennis.
•
To have fun on your bikes.
•
So you can have your lunch
outside.
•
A garden for people to relax in.
•
A buddy stop is a place the
juniors could go to sort out

A toy box would be useful to
decrease the number of fights in
the playground.
