I think we can all agree that if our office environment lacks order and cleanliness, our productivity is down. This is no different in a school - the state of the learning environment has a huge impact on how well pupils perform. In short, cleanliness should be top of the agenda if schools want to ensure that pupils are reaching their full potential.
It will take a long time before we are able to erase the memory of Covid-19 and the impact it had on all of our lives. Schools continue to be affected which demonstrates just how quickly germs can spread when children are in close proximity. Although a good
cleaning regime will never eradicate
germs altogether, it can significantly reduce them. Consistency is key to preventing the spread of infections, as well as a thorough cleaning schedule.
Don't forget that this will also prevent the disruption of having teaching staff off sick.
Hands up if your child has ever returned home from school moaning about the state of the school toilets? Even I can remember the unpleasant smell that hit you as you walked into the toilets at break time!
Children tend to learn behaviour through habit and routine; in other words, if they see a clean environment they will learn to respect it and thus practice it in their own lives. To help pupils develop good, safe habits, it’s imperative that they are surrounded by a clean environment (which includes the toilets!).
It’s also worth noting that a clean environment promotes good mental health.
Point 1 also applies to the teaching team who will undoubtedly be more inspired if their classroom is clean. And as we all know, enthusiasm is infectious! In addition, learning can suffer when teachers aren’t feeling 100 percent; in a clean environment teachers and employees will work more effectively, having a direct impact on how students learn and complete tasks.
To sum all of this up, every student, teacher, and employee will feel a great sense of pride in their school if it is kept clean. A clean environment will encourage its inhabitants to ensure it is kept tidy at all times. Show me a school that doesn't want to encourage this ethic in its pupils!
