Golden Lane Campus brought together a children’s centre, a primary and a special needs school.
As well as knitting these three functions together in one building, the challenge was that the staff
came together from different settings. Part of the team-building activity was a day spent at Robertsbridge
planning the centre with many of the staff.
“We went down to Community Playthings to plan the room layouts. Having the chance to work together as a team was a wonderful opportunity. Because everyone had ownership of the plans, it was a comfortable process even though we were a diverse team. We made flexible choices and are still experimenting with the layout of the rooms – but the equipment lets us do that.”
