Abstract

Presents a brief outline of CABE's research into the quality of new secondary schools. In the first part of the research, CABE surveyed the quality of recently completed secondary schools and gathered feedback from a team of 'enablers' - leading professionals employed to offer expert advice on scheme proposals - as well as from clients. In the second part, CABE enablers were interviewed to provide a snapshot of the design quality of building schools for the future schemes that are still on the drawing board.
