Report to the head teacher about the
possibility of a Year 11 common room
Background
I was 1.asked by the head
teacher to speak to 2.teachers and students at the Moat School about the
possibility of creating a common room for the Year 11s and, if it was
considered to be a good idea, where it 3.would go. Below 4.are
my findings:
Arguments in favour
·
It would provide a safe, comfortable place for
the Year 11s to relax and study, away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of
the school. This would be especially 5.useful during exam times.
·
It would make the Year 11s feel valued and would
prepare them for life at college, where they will most likely have access to a
common room.
· The common room could contain 6.leisure
facilities such as a pool table, table football, tea and coffee facilities and
a television, which the Year 11s would very much appreciate.
Arguments against
·
There is 7.not much space available; the
common room would have to replace one of the classrooms, and this would have an
effect on the school timetable, as some classes would have to be re-roomed.
·
The pool table, table football and other
facilities would 8.cost money.
·
The feeling among some of the teachers is that
would 9.create extra work for them as it would have to be supervised.
·
Some of the students have pointed out that, as
the Year 11s do not have free periods, there is no time during the day when
they would actually go and 10.gather there.
·
It would separate the Year 11s from the rest of
the students and might create a 11.split within the school.
·
When they go to college, they will have free
periods and a common room, so they could just wait a year for that.
Recommendations
My recommendation is that a
Year 11 common, whilst a nice idea, would be 12.too expensive and
would cause too much disruption to be worthwhile.
