Abstract
The guidance in this document follows the steps that designers and school planners can take to identify the appropriate areas for all mainstream schools. Section 1 identifies the approximate overall area for school buildings. Section 2 can be used to establish the number and type of teaching spaces needed to support particular curriculum or staffing models. Sections 3 and 4 provide more detailed information on the individual spaces required. Section 5 deals with the site area and layout. Appendices 1 to 3 show worked examples of schedules of accommodation for 5-11 primary, 11-16 and 11-18 secondary schools. Appendix 4 summarises the area formulae for various types of school.
