Honest answer – what state are your school toilets in? You might think they are fine, but when did you last check? Perhaps you never venture into the pupils’ washrooms and honestly do not know.
A below par-washroom is understandable. A primary school has many areas and facilities that are in need of improving and renovating each year. School budgets are tighter than ever and the governors will have some clear ideas of their priorities for spending – classrooms, playground, sports equipment and computers/ICT are all vital considerations (plus the staff will still want those tea bags!).
Last on the list is revamping the old washrooms. Yes, they look a bit tatty, but they will last another school year. Or will they? What repercussions do grubby washrooms have for the pupils and the school?
Below are some problems that can result from worn-out toilets in your school – along with some ideas and possible solutions.
