Room Names

We've recently changed our room names.

We had the usual: Meeting Room, ICT Suite, Music Room and so on.

We felt that those names, and others (Drama Room and Gallery), possibly limited the potential uses of the rooms by some members of staff. The ICT Suite was empty or being used for computing lessons, the Meeting Room was only used for meetings and so on. In attempt to make them more usable, we looked for some more generic names.

Various ideas we put forward. Random names, famous people, rivers, countries and more. We went with the names of parts of our town, local villages and cities (you know, like a posh hotel does). I recently visited a school where they'd done similar (pictured below - can you see their theme?).



It's taken over a year to really get going. Need to overcome the 'old names', make people see their worth and get the new names being used. It's worth it. Now, it's just a room, that can be used, but may be used most of the time for music, competing or a space for the Learning Mentor...
