We want to see young people and teachers up and down the country involved in designing and taking action in their schools. The programme’s slogan, Small Change to Big Difference, illustrates that with a little imagination and effort any area of the school can be turned into a pleasant and stimulating place for learning, whatever the budget.
The Big School Makeover
…is a national programme brought to you by the British Council for School Environments – the UK’s leading charity in education, design and construction. It aims to encourage teachers, parents and young people to get involved in refreshing or refurbishing a classroom, dining room or even an outside space. Why? Because school buildings matter.
Big School Makeover - Launch & Demonstration complete
In September & October 2009 we launched the Big School Makeover with 5 inspiring makeover projects in schools across England. To view details of each of these projects click here. This is just the first phase of the makeover programme as we will be continuing this exciting project with a year round programme of events, activities, competitions and loads of expert advice and ideas on how to change a space at your school for the better.
