WQ.215/2021

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR CHILDREN AND EDUCATION BY DEPUTY I. GARDINER OF ST. HELIER

QUESTION SUBMITTED ON TUESDAY 4th MAY 2021

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 11th MAY 2021

Question

Will the Minister advise what standards are currently used for the provision of outdoor space per pupil in primary schools in Jersey; and to what extent do Janvrin, Rouge Bouillon, Springfield and St. Luke's Schools comply with these standards?

Answer

The standard used for the provision of outdoor space per pupil is Building Bulletin 103, which sets out simple, non-statutory area guidelines for mainstream school buildings for all age ranges from 3 to 19. The standards assist architects, department officers and those involved in creating a design brief for new school buildings and school refurbishments.

BB 103 is not a statutory framework and the schools were built before a building bulletin standard was

available, however the new standards are taken into consideration with the design and build of any new schools.
