Calculate your buildings footprint

Your buildings footprint is the amount of floor space taken up by your school.

 

To calculate it:

  1. Use plans of the school to discover the floor space area of the school in square metres.
  2. Divide the result by the total number of pupils to find the number of square metres for each pupil.
