Student post:
My school has an excellent environment. It has a number of places for
students to relax. There is a library, where students can read books and
study in silence. Close to the library there is a drinks machine, which
supplies a range of beverages for students. Opposite the drinks machine
there is a cafe, which provides a range of food, such as snacks and
sandwiches. There isn't a cash machine in the vicinity, but there is a car
park in vicinity, which is free for students to use.
