Work in progress - Windows project

A selection of our Manor Way Pupil Leader Groups have been coming together this term to work on a joint project at Manor Way site. The issue was first raised by our Junior Leadership Team who expressed concern that many children in classes complained that our old Victorian sash windows are not allowing enough air to ventilate the building. Since receiving the CO2 devices in the Autumn Term, in the wake of the pandemic, the children have been paying more attention to Co2 levels, room temperatures and ventilation in their classes. 

Firstly, the Premises Personnel team met to conduct a window inspection around the main school building.

Next, the Eco Squad class reps (with JLT rep support) helped collect data each day on CO2 levels in their classes. A week later, then met again to validate their daily data findings.

Then the Digital Leaders worked with Mr Tuthill to display the data in a clear and concise way using Excel and creating graphs.

Finally, the JLT team met with Ms Truong to write a persuasive letter to the council for their support in improving our ventilation and refurbishing the old style windows.
