Socrates' Tree consultation report - April 2008

There isn't a right or wrong way to design new schools, whether they are new buildings or a set of remodelled spaces or major refurbishments.  Schools and local authorities have their own set of values and their own ethos. 

The Socrates Tree consultation report explores these values, helping to identify different priorities.
