What interests me is not just the explosion of the printed word but the inspirational library spaces created to curate them.

As a space, it is about inspiring young people.

The senior school library continues the journey. Here we aim to combine the power of the story with a concept premised on the Cabinet of Curiosities. Curiosity in its purest sense where a student's learning is entirely unrelated to examination specifications and is encouraging learning for its own sake. The first cabinet being mooted relates to an evening next term where the films of Charlie Chaplin will provide both entertainment and a cultural reference point. Our Curator of the Cabinet of Curiosities is tasked with supporting this with the curation of a range of objects which will stimulate interest and encourage inquiry. Our approach is unashamedly about inspiring a love of learning.

When you look at your space, does it… motivate learners? promote learning? support collaborative and formal practice? provide a personalized and inclusive environment? adapt to the changing needs of the school community?

lexible use, with everything on wheels to easily create smaller group work areas for social learning with lots of different seating options, including special desks that can raise up for students who prefer to stand while working.

creating a relevant learning space is not just about investing in expensive technologies
