his Learning Environment Checklist is a practical tool designed to help teachers, support staff, and school leaders evaluate and maintain a classroom environment that is inclusive, purposeful, safe, and stimulating for all learners.
The checklist supports reflection on how the physical space, displays, routines, and resources contribute to children’s academic, emotional, and social development. It ensures the environment promotes independent learning, positive behaviour, and is accessible to SEND, EAL, and all pupils.
This checklist helps you assess:
Classroom Organisation
Are furniture and resources arranged to support group work, independent tasks, and teacher-led input? Are walkways clear and the space well managed?
Displays and Visual Support
Are working walls up to date and purposeful? Is vocabulary, scaffolding, and pupil work clearly visible and celebrated?
Behaviour and Expectations
Are class rules, routines, and visual prompts evident and consistent? Are calm-down spaces or behaviour supports in place?
Access and Inclusion
Are learning resources available at pupil level? Are materials accessible to children with SEND or EAL needs? Is the room welcoming and culturally representative?
Learning Tools and Resources
Are manipulatives, writing supports, and learning aids well-organised and regularly used? Are children able to access what they need independently?
Environment for Focus and Calm
Is lighting, noise, and visual clutter managed to support focus? Are there quiet zones or reflection spaces?
Safety and Cleanliness
Is the space clean, well-maintained, and free of hazards? Are materials stored safely?
