Before working with ELIZABETH JARMAN®, our school was full of brightly coloured classrooms. Walls had multi-coloured designs, were crowded with posters and had very little clear wall space. In the corridors all the notice and display boards were a dark red colour with black borders – this felt very oppressive, and the children crowded into the corridors nosily with little respect for each other. We lacked reading corners in the school but did have them in Reception.
Observing children’s behaviour and response in different parts of your environment is important and highlights it’s influence. ~ Elizabeth Jarman

Elizabeth Jarman is a leading expert on learning spaces. In this podcast she discusses the importance of space, the research that tells us why we should be thinking more about it and how we should approach design and development.
