I work in a newly built school. Over 110 staff, staff room has 2 tables, 8 upright chairs and then kitchen units and a sink/micro/kettle.
Nowhere for us to gather, we eat lunch in our classrooms. 9/10 pupils come to us for general help. I feel there's no real escape - there are some days where break and lunch are sanity savers.
I spoke to another teacher in a different school who are expecting a refurb. They are losing their staff rooms (1 room per block - large comprehensive) and having 1 small eating area similar to ours.
That teacher reckons that gathering in large teacher groups is being discouraged and instead, we are encouraged to stay in our classrooms to encourage working and discourage gossiping.
